HSE Advisor
About The Position
The HSE Advisor is a hands-on safety professional based in Phoenix, Arizona, supporting active construction projects and operational data center activities. During the first several years, the role will focus primarily on construction safety oversight as the owner's representative, ensuring General Contractors and subcontractors comply with health, safety, environmental, and contractual requirements. Approximately 90–100% of the role will initially be dedicated to construction safety. Over time, the position will expand into broader Operations HSE leadership, supporting data centers across the United States. The advisor conducts site inspections, audits, and field observations to verify compliance with OSHA regulations, project safety plans, contractual obligations, and company standards. The role provides independent oversight of high-risk work, participates in hazard assessments, safety planning, and coordination meetings, and serves as a visible field leader partnering with construction teams, contractors, operations personnel, and corporate HSE leadership. As operational responsibilities increase, the advisor will support HSE programs at operational data centers throughout the U.S. This includes audits and risk assessments, electrical safety and management of change processes, contractor safety, emergency preparedness, environmental compliance, incident investigations, corrective actions, training, performance metrics, hazard reduction, and continuous improvement.
