• Investigate incidents and near-misses, prepare root-cause analyses, and drive corrective action and lessons learned across teams
• Manage OSHA logs, SDS, and inspection documentation; lead regulatory inspections with OSHA, fire departments, and insurers
• Participate in pre-construction planning and champion Stop Work Authority at every level of the organization

Qualifications:

• Demonstrated experience managing safety on multi-employer mechanical or industrial construction job sites
