You will collaborate closely with project managers, construction management teams, subcontractors, and safety personnel in a highly procedural environment where projects follow defined phases and approval processes. This position offers exposure to complex industrial demolition, utility infrastructure, excavation, and hazardous materials projects, with the potential for extended project opportunities depending on business needs.

• Conduct regular field observations and inspections to identify unsafe conditions, at-risk behaviors, and potential hazards on demolition and infrastructure sites.
• Review and evaluate Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) to ensure they adequately address project risks and reflect current site conditions.
• Monitor subcontractor safety performance, including adherence to safety plans, procedures, and regulatory requirements, and document findings and trends.
• Support incident prevention efforts by proactively identifying risks, recommending corrective actions, and reinforcing safe work practices.
• Audit work practices and site activities to verify compliance with safety policies, procedures, and regulatory standards, and follow up on corrective actions.
• Provide coaching, guidance, and on-the-spot feedback to project teams and subcontractors to promote a strong safety culture and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate in a highly procedural environment, ensuring that safety requirements align with defined project phases, approvals, and change management processes.
• Support hazardous materials-related work, including activities involving asbestos, lead hazards, and other environmental safety concerns, in line with regulatory and site requirements.
• Participate in contractor management efforts by coordinating with multiple subcontractors and ensuring consistent application of safety expectations across all parties.
• Assist in the development and refinement of JHAs/JSAs and other safety documentation to address evolving project conditions and lessons learned.
• Communicate safety expectations, observations, and findings clearly and professionally to all levels of the project team, including field personnel and leadership.
• Contribute to a positive and supportive work environment by fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared accountability for safety performance.

Essential Skills

• Demonstrated construction safety experience specifically supporting demolition, excavation, infrastructure, industrial, or heavy construction projects.
• Experience supporting industrial demolition projects and industrial demolition safety practices.
• Experience with utility separation and utility disconnect work on utility infrastructure projects.
• Experience working in environments involving hazardous materials, including asbestos and lead-related hazards.
• Ability to conduct field inspections and safety observations in active construction and demolition environments.

• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to build positive working relationships with project managers, construction teams, subcontractors, and safety personnel.

Work Environment

This role is primarily field-based, with approximately 95% of the time spent working outside in all weather conditions. You will support demolition and infrastructure projects on a large campus environment, including industrial demolition, utility infrastructure work, excavation, and hazardous materials-related activities. The work setting is highly procedural, with projects following defined phases and approval processes, and involves close coordination with multiple subcontractors and construction management teams. You will operate in an active construction and demolition environment that emphasizes safety, collaboration, and adherence to regulatory standards.
