Project Overview

We are seeking an experienced Safety Manager to support a major retrofit project inside an active Amazon distribution center in West Jefferson, OH.

This is a high-visibility, field-focused position responsible for protecting personnel, equipment, and ongoing facility operations while construction activities are completed within a fully operational environment. The Safety Manager will work closely with the general contractor, subcontractors, project leadership, and facility representatives to identify risks, enforce safety expectations, and maintain compliance throughout the project.

Because construction will take place alongside active distribution operations, the successful candidate must be comfortable managing overlapping work activities, coordinating with multiple stakeholders, and addressing hazards before they impact employees, contractors, or site productivity.

Four-year degree in safety, occupational health, construction management, or a related field
Current BCSP certification

Experience managing safety on commercial, industrial, manufacturing, or distribution facility construction projects
Strong working knowledge of OSHA regulations and construction safety requirements
Experience conducting field inspections, compliance audits, and hazard assessments
Ability to manage construction safety within an active operational facility
Strong communication, leadership, and conflict-resolution skills
Ability to work directly with contractors, subcontractors, field personnel, and project leadership
Authorization to work in the United States

Key Responsibilities

Oversee daily field safety operations and project compliance activities
Conduct routine jobsite inspections, safety audits, and hazard assessments
Monitor construction activities occurring around active facility operations
Enforce project safety policies, procedures, and regulatory requirements
Lead site orientations, toolbox talks, and safety training sessions
Identify unsafe behaviors, conditions, and operational conflicts before incidents occur
Investigate incidents, near misses, injuries, and reported safety concerns
Develop, communicate, and track corrective action plans
Maintain accurate inspection reports, training records, incident documentation, and safety logs
Evaluate contractor and subcontractor compliance with established safety standards
Partner with project management to resolve safety concerns without unnecessarily disrupting operations
Promote accountability and a proactive safety culture throughout the project

Experience involving the following areas is highly desirable:

Construction safety management
Active-facility or occupied-site construction
OSHA compliance
Hazard recognition and risk mitigation
Contractor and subcontractor oversight
Incident and near-miss investigations
Safety auditing and field inspections
Corrective action management
