Job Summary

• Lead safety planning, project-readiness, compliance, and construction support for data center projects and other complex, high-profile customer sites.
• Partner with Sales, Estimating, Project Management, Construction Operations, general contractors, and customers to identify project-specific safety obligations, costs, schedules, and access requirements before contract execution and mobilization.
• Own the timely completion and ongoing maintenance of customer safety submissions, contractor prequalification systems, employee onboarding records, certifications, and site-access platforms so changing construction teams can mobilize without avoidable delays.
• Maintain a visible jobsite presence, evaluate construction conditions, coach project teams, coordinate specialized resources, and respond promptly to customer findings and corrective-action requests.
• Success is measured by safe execution, complete and timely project readiness, uninterrupted site access, responsive closure of findings, reduced unplanned safety costs, and strong customer and general contractor relationships.
• Review project-specific safety requirements during pursuit, estimating, and contract review; identify scope, resource, training, PPE, inspection, documentation, and dedicated-coverage costs before commitments are finalized.
• Develop and maintain project safety plans, job hazard analyses (JHAs), programs, pre-mobilization packages, and supporting documentation that meet Fabcon, customer, general contractor, and regulatory requirements.
• Administer project-required drug testing and coordinate nondisclosure agreements, background checks, site-clearance requirements, and pre-access training for assigned construction personnel.
• Manage contractor prequalification platforms, including Avetta, ISNetworld, and similar systems, and keep company, program, incident-rate, insurance, and project records current throughout the work.
• Manage employee enrollment and credential verification in project and safety platforms such as HammerTech and Procore, including rapid roster changes, local hires, training records, and certifications needed for uninterrupted site access.
• Coordinate specialized third-party qualifications and training beyond Fabcon's standard requirements, including NCCCO rigging qualifications, customer-required OSHA 10- and 30-hour renewals, site-specific fall protection, fire watch, emergency response, and state- or locality-specific programs.
• Coordinate welding certifications and maintain accurate welder continuity logs in accordance with contract and project requirements.
• Schedule contractually required third-party rigging inspections, maintain inspection records, communicate results, and coordinate timely correction of identified deficiencies.
• Participate in onsite preplanning meetings, customer presentations, recurring project safety meetings, jobsite assessments, incident investigations, and construction coaching activities.
• Source and coordinate qualified third-party safety professionals when dedicated onsite coverage is required; confirm scope, credentials, scheduling, performance, and documentation.
• Respond promptly to customer and general contractor concerns, inspection findings, and corrective-action requests; track items through verified closure and communicate trends to project and EHS leadership.
• Build reusable project-readiness tools, dashboards, checklists, and lessons learned that improve submission quality, shorten onboarding lead time, increase construction presence, and reduce compliance and operational risk across future data center work.
• Customer Focus: Builds strong customer relationships and delivers responsive, customer-centered safety solutions.
• Plans and Aligns: Prioritizes complex preconstruction, mobilization, access, and construction-support activities to meet project commitments.
• Manages Complexity: Makes sense of extensive and sometimes conflicting contract, customer, regulatory, and operational requirements.
• Ensures Accountability: Establishes clear ownership and follows requirements, findings, certifications, and corrective actions through completion.
• Collaborates: Builds effective partnerships across EHS, Sales, Project Management, Construction Operations, customers, general contractors, and vendors.
• Communicates Effectively: Delivers clear written submissions, training, presentations, and construction communications for varied audiences.
• Action Oriented: Responds with urgency to changing rosters, access issues, customer concerns, and emerging construction risks.
• Situational Adaptability: Adjusts approach and priorities as project conditions, staffing, customer expectations, and schedules change.
