Division Safety Manager

Clark Construction Group•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

The Division Safety Manager ensures the safety of employees, trade partners, and the general public on construction projects. The role creates a culture of care while enforcing Clark’s Safety and Health Policy and applicable local, state, and federal safety standards. Working with project supervisors, the manager leads employee safety education and develops safe work plans for all phases and tasks. This is an active, hands-on position with significant time on construction sites and some time in an office. The role involves navigating uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, and hoists; working in varied weather, moderate to loud noise, elevated or confined areas, and around moving mechanical equipment; and performing physical tasks such as bending, kneeling, reaching, and lifting. It also includes desk work that may involve prolonged sitting. The position is demanding and high-performance oriented. It requires flexibility to work extended hours, especially during critical project phases or client deadlines, and responsiveness to time-sensitive matters or emergencies outside regular working hours. A pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening is required, as are random quarterly drug fitness-for-duty tests.
