- Coordinate with project leadership, GC safety personnel, subcontractors, and client EHS representatives.
- Verify required training, certifications, PPE, and documentation are current and maintained.
- Exercise stop-work authority when an imminent hazard or serious safety concern is identified.
- Promote a positive safety culture focused on accountability, communication, and continuous improvement.

- Minimum 5 years of construction safety experience, preferably supporting electrical contractors on large industrial, pharmaceutical, life sciences, or advanced manufacturing projects.
- Strong knowledge of OSHA construction standards and electrical safety requirements.
- Experience with NFPA 70E, LOTO, energized electrical work, arc-flash hazards, and electrical safe work practices.
