About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Field Safety Technician to support a high-volume underground utilities and pipeline contractor overseeing 10 to 15 active projects across the Los Angeles area. This is a field-heavy safety role for someone who is comfortable moving between multiple job sites, working directly with crews, identifying hazards in real time, and keeping excavation, trenching, confined space, and traffic control operations compliant with OSHA, CalOSHA, and company safety standards. The right candidate will have strong boots-on-the-ground safety experience, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage safety oversight across several active job sites without needing constant direction. This position supports underground pipeline and utility construction work across multiple active sites. Work may include excavation, trenching, utility installation, confined space exposure, traffic control setups, and coordination with field crews in active public or roadway environments. This is not a desk-based safety role. The ideal candidate will be highly visible in the field, comfortable communicating with crews, and able to move quickly between projects while maintaining consistent safety standards.
