  • Prepare site safety visit reports and partner with project managers, construction managers, and contractors to document and resolve action items
  • Deliver initial contractor safety training for construction managers and provide ongoing safety support to construction managers and project managers
  • Develop and distribute weekly safety focus topics for construction managers
  • Identify additional safety training, communication, and process improvement opportunities for project teams
  • Assist project managers with the creation and maintenance of project-specific safety plans
  • Lead or support investigations for contractor safety incidents, including documentation, corrective actions, and follow-up
  • Establish requirements for site safety representatives and help maintain a pool of qualified resources to support projects
  • Interview, onboard, and provide remote support to site safety representatives as project needs arise
  • Assist procurement and project teams with contractor safety qualification questions
  • Monitor and support compliance with applicable OSHA federal and state construction safety requirements
  • Assist with regulatory inspections, inquiries, or related proceedings as needed
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety and Health, Construction Management, Engineering, Environmental Health and Safety, or a related field
  • 5+ years of construction safety experience supporting contractor safety programs on construction, industrial, infrastructure, or design-build projects
  • Experience conducting construction site safety inspections, audits, observations, or field safety reviews
  • Experience preparing written safety reports, documenting corrective actions, and following up with project teams or contractors
  • Experience supporting or conducting safety incident investigations
  • Working knowledge of OSHA construction safety requirements
Preferred Qualifications
  • CHST, CSP, ASP, OSHA 500, OSHA 510, or related safety certification
  • Experience supporting design-build, EPC, construction management, or industrial construction projects
  • Experience developing safety programs, training materials, safety bulletins, and field safety tools
  • Experience developing and supporting project-specific safety plans
  • Experience with contractor qualifications, third-party safety systems, and client safety pre-qualification requirements
  • Experience tracking safety performance metrics such as TRIR, DART, incident rates, corrective actions, or audit findings
Working Conditions and Travel
  • This role requires, at times, up to 50-75% travel to active project sites based on project needs and site visit schedules
  • Work may include visits to active construction sites where personal protective equipment and adherence to site-specific safety requirements are required
