Safety Manager (Civil)

Job Description & Work Environment:

The Safety Manager is responsible for leading and enforcing safety programs across active heavy civil construction projects, including underground utilities, earthwork, grading, paving, concrete, and asphalt work on municipal, commercial, and federal job sites. This role partners closely with field leadership, project management, and executive teams to promote a strong safety culture while ensuring compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

Work Environment: This role is primarily office‑based (approximately 75%) in Englewood, CO, with additional time spent on active construction job sites. Field work includes exposure to changing weather conditions, heavy equipment, excavation activities, and live construction operations. The Safety Manager supports multiple concurrent projects and must be flexible to provide coverage outside standard business hours as needed; availability for nights and weekends is required periodically, though not on a routine basis.

• Growing company with momentum: This company is actively expanding its footprint, including the recent acquisition of another company, creating new opportunities for career growth, stability, and advancement

• Investment in people and leadership: This company values strong leadership and is committed to developing internal talent as the organization continues to grow and scale
• Self‑performing contractor: In‑house crews and equipment allow for better control over schedules, quality, and safety culture

Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and enforce company‑wide safety programs and policies
• Create and manage site‑specific safety plans (SSPs), job hazard analyses (JHAs), and high‑risk activity programs
• Provide oversight and guidance for safety compliance related to excavation, confined space entry, fall protection, and emergency response
• Conduct jobsite safety audits and inspections across active heavy civil projects
• Lead incident and accident investigations, including root cause analysis and corrective action development
• Manage OSHA 300 logs, regulatory reporting, and compliance documentation
• Support workers’ compensation claims, incident tracking, and claims management processes
• Read and interpret construction plans and specifications to proactively identify safety risks
• Serve as a safety resource for superintendents, foremen, field crews, and client representatives
• Lead, mentor, and manage field safety staff, including workload distribution and performance development
• Deliver safety training, toolbox talks, and ongoing safety communications to field and office personnel
