About The Position

Orion is seeking an experienced Health, Safety & Environmental (HS&E) Supervisor to support marine construction and heavy civil operations in the Pacific Region. The position is based at Orion’s Honolulu, Hawaii office and requires regular travel to active projects throughout the Hawaiian Islands, with possible assignments in the South Pacific. It is an office-based and field-oriented role, not a remote position. The supervisor provides field safety leadership, regulatory compliance oversight, and administrative support for the development, implementation, administration, and continuous improvement of Orion’s HS&E programs. Areas of focus include employee safety, accident and incident prevention, safe work practices, safety training, OSHA compliance, workers’ compensation, inspections and audits, emergency response, risk management, fire protection, pollution prevention, and company safety policies and procedures. The role works closely with project managers, superintendents, foremen, craft personnel, and regional safety leadership to identify hazards, assess risks, implement corrective actions, and promote a proactive safety culture across multiple projects. The position requires familiarity with marine construction activities such as pile driving, dredging, marine foundations, waterfront structures, and construction performed from barges and other marine equipment. The successful candidate is expected to support Orion’s values of Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Teamwork, with Integrity as their foundation.
