About The Position

The Construction Safety Coordinator supports multiple active construction projects throughout the Tampa area for a general contractor working in healthcare, financial, corporate, commercial, and light industrial construction. The position is field-oriented, with approximately three days per week in the field and two days in the office, and involves 60–75% in-state travel with no overnight travel.

It is suited to an early- to mid-career safety professional, including recent graduates, seeking professional growth and a long-term career.

Compensation is listed as $42 per hour plus $150 per diem for traveling contractors, or a direct-hire salary of $65,000–$85,000, with a performance-based bonus program.
