About The Position

The Field Safety Advisor serves as a hands-on safety resource supporting service operations and project work across all business locations. This role is primarily field-based, with regular visits to job sites and customer locations to assess safety conditions, identify hazards, and help teams develop practical, compliant, and effective solutions to work-related safety challenges before, during, and after work is performed. When not in the field, the Field Safety Advisor will work from a company office. The position requires the ability to work independently while also collaborating closely with associates, project teams, customers, and the EHS team.

Building trust, credibility, and strong working relationships—while consistently maintaining and enforcing safety standards—is essential to success in this role.
