EnRetro Power Generation Services
W-2 Outage Assignment-Based Employment | Nationwide Travel Required
Base Pay: $52.00/hour
2027 outage assignments anticipated to begin mid-to-late January

EnRetro Power Generation Services is recruiting experienced Health & Safety Professionals to support power-generation maintenance outages throughout the United States.

This is a field-intensive safety position for professionals who are comfortable working directly with craft personnel, supervision, project leadership, contractors, and customer representatives in fast-paced outage environments.

Safety Professionals should expect to spend approximately 90% of the workday in the field observing work, identifying hazards, coaching crews, supporting safe execution, and communicating conditions to project leadership.

We are looking for professionals who can walk into an active outage, understand the work taking place, establish credibility with crews, recognize changing conditions, and take action when work is not adequately controlled.

Responsibilities may include:

• Conduct field safety observations and work-area walkdowns

• Participate in daily turnover meetings and pre-job briefs

• Review JHAs/JSAs and planned work for adequate hazard controls

• Monitor Lockout/Tagout and hazardous-energy-control activities

• Recognize changing work scope and potential LOTO boundary concerns

• Support confined-space permitting, atmospheric monitoring, and rescue readiness

• Monitor hot work, fall protection, scaffold access, electrical hazards, and PPE requirements

• Identify line-of-fire, pinch-point, caught-between, and dropped-object hazards

• Support crane, rigging, overhead-lift, and critical-lift safety

• Monitor powered industrial vehicle and equipment activities

• Coach employees and supervisors on safe work practices

• Address repeated unsafe behavior and escalate concerns when necessary

• Exercise Stop-Work Authority when conditions warrant

• Conduct or assist with safety orientations, toolbox talks, and safety meetings

• Support incident and near-miss investigations

• Assist with corrective actions, lessons learned, and Root Cause Analysis

• Identify Human Performance risks and error-likely situations

• Complete required inspections, observations, daily reports, and safety documentation

• Support outage mobilization and demobilization

Safety Professionals provide field safety leadership, observation, coaching, verification, and intervention. They are not assigned to perform craft work, operate equipment, rig loads, or signal cranes.

Candidates should have:

• OSHA 30-Hour Outreach completed — proof required

• Relevant experience in power generation, industrial outages, turnarounds, commissioning, plant operations, contractor safety, heavy industrial maintenance, or a comparable high-hazard environment

• Practical experience with LOTO / hazardous-energy control

• Working knowledge of confined space, hot work, fall protection, PPE, and pre-job planning

• Experience supporting incident or near-miss investigations

• Strong field communication and coaching skills

• Ability to work effectively with craft personnel, supervisors, project leadership, and customers

• Ability and willingness to travel nationwide

• Ability to work approximately 12-hour shifts, nights, weekends, and consecutive days during outage assignments

• Ability to complete required EnRetro, customer, and site-specific training before deployment

Direct power-generation outage experience is strongly preferred.

Particularly relevant experience includes:

• Combined-cycle or simple-cycle facilities

• Combustion turbines

• Generators

• HRSG and balance-of-plant systems

• Power-plant operations or maintenance

• Outage implementation

• Commissioning / startup

• OEM outage support

• Contractor safety or Owner's Representative work

• Industrial shutdowns and turnarounds

Candidates with strong plant operations, mechanical supervision, implementation, commissioning, military technical, or comparable industrial backgrounds may also be considered when they can demonstrate substantial personal field safety leadership.

Strong candidates will have practical experience with several of the following:

LOTO / Hazardous Energy Control • Human Performance • Confined Space • Hot Work • Fall Protection • Scaffolding • Crane & Rigging Safety • Critical Lifts • Dropped Object Prevention • Electrical Safety / NFPA 70E • Powered Industrial Vehicles • Incident Investigation • Root Cause Analysis • Contractor Safety • Emergency Response

Relevant additional credentials may include OSHA 510/511, OSHA 500/501, First Aid/CPR/AED, HAZWOPER, PowerSafe, crane/rigging safety, and Human Performance training.

Not every preferred credential is required.

Candidates should be prepared during the interview to give specific examples of what they personally did, not simply describe a company safety program.

Be prepared to discuss situations where you:

• Stopped or delayed unsafe work

• Identified and corrected a serious hazard

• Reviewed or challenged a LOTO boundary

• Responded when work scope changed

• Led a safety meeting or pre-job brief

• Addressed repeated unsafe behavior

• Investigated an incident or near miss

• Managed safety concerns under schedule pressure

• Applied Human Performance principles

• Built credibility with craft personnel and supervisors

We value practical judgment, communication skills, and the ability to influence safe field performance.
