About The Position

We're looking for a Safety Engineer to join a team that treats safety as a core part of who we are, not just a checklist. This role supports the development, administration, and implementation of our safety programs, policies, and compliance efforts across both field and office operations. You'll work closely with our Safety Director, safety staff, field employees, Foremen, Project Managers, and Superintendents, helping make sure every person on our jobsites goes home the way they came in. This position spans three levels (Safety Engineer 1, 2, and 3), with the right fit depending on your experience, the scope of programs you'll own, and how independently you're ready to lead safety initiatives. Wherever you land on that spectrum, what matters most to us is your commitment to the humble, hungry, smart mindset and genuine care for the people you're protecting.

Working knowledge of OSHA construction and general industry standards, incident investigation methods, and safety compliance practices (depth of knowledge scales with level)
