About the Positions We’re seeking Safety Managers to support large, complex heavy civil infrastructure programs, including highways, roads, bridges, transit (bus and rail), aviation (international airports), and water/wastewater projects delivered through both traditional and alternative delivery methods. We hire across the level range, from safety oversight on a single construction package to safety leadership across concurrent contracts. You’ll enforce contractual safety requirements, verify in the field that committed controls are the controls actually in place, and keep a defensible record of both. This post is for future roles and not for a specific opportunity that is available right now. We accept applications and conduct interviews in advance of upcoming hiring needs. When a candidate is selected, their profile is activated in our talent pool for this specialty area. We notify our talent pool candidates first whenever we have a project need. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following: • May lead program-level safety governance across concurrent construction contracts, and develop the enterprise safety procedures, audit protocols, and escalation paths that the program’s contractors are held to. • Review and accept site-specific safety plans, job hazard analyses, and activity hazard analyses for conformance with program safety requirements and applicable OSHA regulations, and track open items to closure. • Audit contractor safety performance in the field, and observe high-hazard activities during site walks to confirm the controls in the accepted plan are the controls actually in place at the work face. • Drive corrective action through to verified closure rather than repeat finding. • Oversee incident investigation, evaluate the contractor’s root cause findings for adequacy, and confirm that corrective actions were implemented and actually worked. • May administer the program safety requirements carried in the contract documents, including safety submittals, training and certification tracking, competent person designations, and OSHA recordkeeping and reporting. • Review engineered temporary works and high-hazard activity plans, such as excavation shoring, falsework and bridge erection, critical lift and rigging plans, and fall protection. • Confirm the required engineering, permits, and approvals are in place before high-hazard work proceeds. • Evaluate safety controls in active operating environments, including work zones, live service areas, and confined space entry at operating facilities. • May lead, develop, and evaluate the safety staff assigned across your contracts, and hold their audit and observation documentation to a consistent program standard. • Coordinate safety planning across overlapping contractor operations and schedule sequencing in preconstruction and pre-activity meetings, so shared hazards and interfaces are settled before crews mobilize. • Analyze leading and lagging safety indicators across the program, report incident trends, audit results, and contractor safety performance to program leadership, and call for safety stand-downs when the data warrants. • Coordinate with federal, state, and local regulators during inspections and investigations, and represent the program’s response, positions, and follow-up commitments. Attributes • Excellent written and verbal communication and interpersonal skills. • Excellent multi-tasking and organizational skills. • Collaborative mindset that fosters teamwork, trust, and positive relationships. • Natural curiosity, problem-solving abilities, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Minimum Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in occupational safety and health, safety engineering, construction management, or civil engineering, or related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience. • Active OSHA-30 certification. • 5+ years of construction safety experience for large (>$500M), complex, heavy-civil infrastructure projects. • Experience developing or reviewing site-specific safety plans, job hazard analyses, or activity hazard analyses against contract and regulatory requirements. • Experience conducting field safety audits and inspections, holding another company accountable to safety requirements including stop-work situations, and tracking corrective actions to documented closure. • Experience with incident investigation and root cause analysis, including corrective action follow-up and trend reporting. • Experience leading, mentoring, or supervising field safety staff on an active construction site. • Working knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1926 and OSHA recordkeeping and reporting obligations. • Working knowledge of high-hazard heavy civil construction activities, including excavation and shoring, confined space entry, fall protection, crane and rigging operations, energized work, and work zone traffic control. • Experience with industry standard safety, EHS, and incident reporting software (e.g., Enablon, Intelex, Procore, etc.). • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite/Office 365 (e.g., Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc.). Preferred Qualifications • Master’s degree in occupational safety and health, safety engineering, construction management, or civil engineering. • Active professional certifications such as CSP, CHST, or STSC (BCSP), and/or CIH (ABIH). • Experience serving as the owner’s lead safety representative, or in an owner’s representative, program management, or construction management safety oversight capacity. • Experience owning program-level safety governance across multiple concurrent contracts on a $1B+ program, including enterprise procedure development, audit program design, escalation protocols, and safety culture initiatives. • Experience overseeing contractor safety on a package exceeding $100M in construction value. • Familiarity with rail safety requirements such as FRA or FTA roadway worker protection, or with airfield safety and security requirements on an operating airport. • Experience developing and delivering safety orientation and training programs for owner staff and personnel. • Proficiency with Microsoft Power BI, Oracle Cloud Analytics, or other dashboard KPI reporting software.
