This role partners closely with operations leadership, superintendents, and field employees to promote a strong and consistent safety culture across all job sites. What can you expect in this role? This is not a desk-only position. You can expect to spend a significant portion of your time in the field, building relationships with crews and reinforcing safe work practices in real time.

Success in this role requires balancing regulatory compliance with practical field solutions while helping drive a culture where safety is owned by everyone.
