About The Position

The Division Safety Manager ensures the safety of employees, trade partners, and the general public on construction projects. The role promotes a culture of care while enforcing Clark’s Safety and Health Policy and applicable local, state, and federal safety standards. In partnership with project supervisors, the manager leads employee safety education and develops safe work plans for all project phases and tasks.

The position is active and hands-on, with significant time spent on construction sites and some time in an office. The work calls for adaptability to changing weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined work areas, and moving mechanical equipment. It also involves frequent walking on uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists; bending, kneeling, reaching, and lifting and carrying materials. The role requires flexibility for extended hours during critical project phases or client deadlines, and responsiveness to time-sensitive matters or emergencies outside regular working hours.

Clark requires a pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and conducts random quarterly drug fitness-for-duty tests.
