Safety Manager - US Field Ops

Exodigo

About The Position

Exodigo is seeking a hands-on Safety Manager to lead safety across its growing US field operations. Field teams map underground infrastructure using advanced sensing technologies in urban streets, transportation corridors, construction sites, and other complex environments. The Safety Manager will own the development and day-to-day execution of the field safety program, supporting employees and field partners across multiple regions. The role combines field work—observing operations, coaching crews, and addressing risks—with developing the standards, training, and processes needed to scale safely. The position is based across US metro areas with reasonable access to major airports, and requires frequent travel and support for night operations when needed.
