Safety Manager
About The Position
This Safety Manager role is crucial for ensuring that every worker on the jobsite, including self-perform crews and subcontractors, goes home safely. The company has a strong safety record, recognized with OSHA SHARP accreditation and national safety excellence awards, which is maintained by a proactive individual who identifies and addresses hazards before they lead to incidents. This is a leadership position focused on protecting people and projects, not just compliance. The mission for the first 12 months is to own safety performance across assigned jobsites in the Atlanta or Raleigh market, making the safety standard visible and fostering a culture of self-correction. The role involves running the Construction Safety Management Program, leading job hazard analyses and site safety work plans, and converting incident data into actionable insights for leadership. Success is measured by the absence of incidents on assigned sites.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in a safety-related discipline, or a minimum of 3 years of construction safety management experience.
- Safety management on commercial or large industrial projects of $50 million or higher, strongly preferred.
- OSHA 500 Authorized Instructor.
- Technical awareness in environmental management, including storm water pollution prevention planning (SWPPP) and administration.
- Willingness to travel to multiple local job sites.
Nice To Haves
- Energized by being on site at 7 a.m., not by managing safety from a screen.
- Ability to influence without authority, getting corrections made across subcontractor crews who do not report to you and across crews who may not share your first language.
- Composed when it counts, handling incidents, audits, and inspections without the standard moving because the day got hard.
- Builds the culture, not just the file, making the standard something crews own, not something they dodge.

- Turn incident data into actionable insights for leadership.
- Drive recordable incident performance on assigned sites to better than company and regional benchmarks.
- Lead job hazard analysis, site safety work plans, and public hazard analysis on every assigned project before site activity begins.
- Close site safety inspection findings across self-perform crews and all subcontractors within the correction window.
- Stand up a contractor orientation process that works for a multi-lingual workforce.
- Convert workers' compensation and general liability claim reviews and inspection data into management-level loss-control reporting.
- Represent loss-control performance expectations in pre-bid and post-award meetings.
