Safety Advisor IV - Auburn, MA
About The Position
The Safety Advisor IV provides senior-level safety oversight for new construction and renovation projects throughout the Auburn, Massachusetts region. Projects may include commercial, industrial, institutional, energy, infrastructure, and wastewater facilities. The role is approximately 80% field-based and 20% office-based, with visits to an average of five to eight sites per week. Larger or more complex projects may require concentrated support at one or two locations. The position is on-site, with no remote-work arrangement, and involves travel between regional project sites. The Safety Advisor serves as an experienced coach and trusted safety resource for project teams. The role requires building credibility with field personnel, influencing safe behavior, supporting investigations, and promoting accountability through relationships rather than a policing approach. Key exposures include roadway traffic, excavation, trenching, shoring, fall hazards, and PPE compliance.
