  • Lead new-hire safety orientation and toolbox talks for all trades on site.
  • Investigate incidents and near-misses, prepare incident reports, and lead root cause analysis and corrective action follow-up.
  • Enforce compliance with OSHA regulations and project-specific safety requirements, including fall protection, confined space, and NFPA 70E electrical safety standards.
  • Maintain safety records, training certifications, and OSHA recordkeeping logs for the project.
  • Coordinate emergency action plans and lead emergency response drills for the site.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in construction management, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent field experience.
  • Minimum 7 years of quality control experience on commercial or industrial construction projects.
  • Strong working knowledge of inspection and test plan development and nonconformance management.
  • Ability to read and interpret architectural, structural, and MEP drawings and specifications.
  • Experience with quality documentation and reporting software.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience on a data center or other mission-critical construction project.
  • Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Construction Health and Safety Technician (CHST) credential.
  • Experience managing safety programs on multi-contractor sites with concurrent trade activity.

Work Environment
