  • Support root cause analysis and corrective action tracking
  • Help identify trends and recurring hazards across projects
  • Work closely with the Director of Safety & Risk and field leadership to ensure alignment on safety expectations
  • Communicate hazards and recommendations clearly and professionally across all levels
  • Coordinate with subcontractors to ensure compliance with safety requirements
  • Promote a strong, proactive safety culture in the field

Experience

  • Strong preference for experience in structural steel or high-risk construction environments
  • Comfortable working on active, fast-paced job sites with multiple trades
  • OSHA 30-Hour Construction (or ability to obtain)
  • First Aid / CPR / AED
  • Ability and desire to travel in and out of state up to 70%

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • Company vehicle + fuel card or stipend, and all travel expenses paid
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance and 401(k)
  • Direct influence over safety culture and risk mitigation strategy across the organization
  • A collaborative, values-driven leadership team
  • Long-term career growth within a financially stable, well-established company
