About The Position

The Project Safety Assistant promotes, monitors, and supports safe working conditions across active construction project sites. Reporting to the Regional HSE Consultant, the role works with regional HSE leadership, site supervisors, project managers, trade contractors, and cross-functional teams to identify and control hazards, support compliance with regulations including OSHA standards, and foster a proactive safety culture. The position includes site inspections and audits, safety documentation and compliance administration, workforce training, incident investigation, hazard-planning support, and emergency preparedness and response. Additional safety-related, administrative, or field evaluation duties may be assigned by the Regional HSE Consultant and project leadership.

The role is based at active construction project sites, with exposure to indoor and outdoor conditions, noise, dust, and heavy machinery. It is full-time, and schedule flexibility may be required for early starts, extended project hours, or weekend operations. Reliable personal transportation is required for travel to assigned sites. Employees must be able to stand, walk, and inspect sites for up to 12 hours per day, negotiate uneven terrain, and climb ladders or scaffolding. Employment is contingent on a comprehensive background check and pre-employment drug screening.

Requirements

• Either seven consecutive years dedicated solely to building construction safety, or five years of building construction safety management experience and a safety certification such as CSP or CHST. General-industry or specialty-contractor safety experience does not count toward the comprehensive building-construction experience requirement.
• Demonstrate continuing safety training for the claimed experience period.
• Candidates with a four-year degree in a construction safety discipline must also have at least three years of actual field experience in building construction safety.
• Practical knowledge, working experience, and documented continuing education in fall protection; ground-supported and suspended scaffolds; excavation and trenching; permit and non-permit confined spaces; crane operation; electrical safety; incident investigation; construction industrial hygiene; fire protection and prevention; lockout/tagout; basic crane rigging; and respiratory protection.
• Continuing-education training for each required topic must be at least four hours and dated within five years of the Notice to Proceed for Construction Services or the Owner's equivalent.
• OSHA 500 Trainer Course for Construction or OSHA 502 Update for the Construction Industry Outreach Trainers certificate. OSHA 500 or OSHA 510 certificates alone are not acceptable for the stated training requirement.
• Current evidence, within two years, of specialized training with in-person competency demonstration for Emergency First Aid, CPR, and AED.
• Clear communication and interpersonal skills to convey safety requirements across project personnel and trade partners.
• Strong organizational, administrative, and document-management capabilities.

• Proficiency with digital safety management platforms, tablet-based reporting tools, and standard office software.
