Safety Advisor IV
About The Position
The Safety Advisor IV will provide senior-level safety oversight for new construction and renovation projects throughout the Auburn, Massachusetts region. The project portfolio may include commercial, industrial, institutional, energy, infrastructure, and wastewater facilities. This position is approximately 80% field-based and 20% office-based. The advisor will typically visit five to eight sites per week, although larger or more complex projects may require concentrated support at one or two locations. Key exposures include roadway traffic, excavation, trenching, shoring, fall hazards, and PPE compliance. The Safety Advisor IV will serve as an experienced coach and trusted safety resource for project teams. Success requires the ability to influence safe behavior, build credibility with field personnel, support investigations, and promote accountability through strong relationships rather than a policing approach.
