About The Position

The Field Safety Specialist supports daily field safety operations on an active data center construction site. The role ensures compliance with OSHA regulations, site-specific safety standards, and company policies. Work is performed primarily in and around active construction areas, including indoor and outdoor settings, unfinished buildings, temporary field offices, staging areas, and partially completed infrastructure. Conditions may include uneven surfaces, limited accessibility, and other circumstances typical of construction projects before completion. Some areas and temporary structures are controlled by third parties, and may not yet be fully ADA-compliant. The position requires regular movement through active work zones and the ability to navigate changing site conditions safely. Essential physical tasks include walking, standing, bending, climbing, and occasionally handling loads up to 50 pounds. The role may involve exposure to outdoor weather, dust, noise, vibrations, and odors. Required PPE includes hard hats, safety vests, hearing protection, and steel-toe boots. Reasonable accommodations may be made for qualified individuals with disabilities when they do not create safety hazards, impede essential mobility in active work zones, or require modification of facilities not owned or controlled by Overwatch. Candidates must possess and maintain an appropriate valid driver’s license and be eligible to operate a motor vehicle when on-site presence or travel between work locations is an essential function. The role also requires effective professional communication, including preparing written reports and documentation and conveying information clearly to team members, clients, and stakeholders.
