17h•Onsite

About The Position

The Safety Manager ensures the safety of employees, trade partners, and the general public on Clark projects. The role builds a culture of care while enforcing Clark’s Safety and Health Policy and applicable local, state, and federal safety standards. In partnership with project supervisors, the Safety Manager leads employee safety education and develops safe work plans for all phases and tasks. The position also mentors safety staff, supports recruiting and retention, contributes to company initiatives, and helps build relationships with industry professionals. This is an active, hands-on role with significant time on construction sites and some time in an office. It involves navigating uneven terrain, stairs, ladders, hoists, and elevated or confined work areas; working in varied weather and moderate to loud noise; and frequently lifting and carrying materials up to 25 pounds and occasionally up to 50 pounds. The role also requires bending, kneeling, reaching, effective communication, and visual acuity for reading plans and inspecting work. Office tasks may involve prolonged sitting. The role operates in a demanding, high-performance environment and requires flexibility to work extended hours, particularly during critical project phases or client deadlines. Business needs may also require responding to time-sensitive matters or emergencies outside regular working hours, including monitoring and responding to calls, emails, and text messages. Clark requires a pre-employment drug fitness-for-duty screening and conducts random quarterly drug fitness-for-duty tests.
