Why Work at Target Contractors

You will work for a company where safety leadership is respected and supported by management. You will have real authority in the field and the backing to stop work when conditions are unsafe. You will be involved in complex, high-risk projects where your decisions directly protect workers, schedules, and client relationships. You will be part of a team that values accountability, communication, and professionalism over paperwork for its own sake.

What You Will Do

• Implement and enforce site-specific Accident Prevention Plans (APPs) and Activity Hazard Analyses (AHAs/JHAs/JSAs) in accordance with EM 385-1-1
• Conduct daily safety inspections, audits, and hazard assessments
• Lead pre-task planning and daily safety meetings with field crews
• Manage and oversee permit programs including hot work, fall protection, confined space, and other high-risk activities
• Coordinate and deliver safety orientations, toolbox talks, and required training
• Investigate incidents, near misses, and unsafe conditions and implement corrective actions
• Interface directly with superintendents, project managers, inspectors, and client safety representatives

Travel Requirements

• This position requires approximately 80-90% travel, depending on project needs
• Assignments may include regional and out-of-state job sites
• Per diem and travel support provided in accordance with company policy

What We Are Looking For

• Strong working knowledge of EM 385-1-1 and OSHA construction standards
• Proven ability to lead safety in active, production-driven job sites
• Confidence to enforce requirements while maintaining professional working relationships
• Strong documentation, communication, and organizational skills
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively
