Site Safety Coordinator
About The Position
Superior Rigging & Erecting is seeking an experienced Site Safety Coordinator to support our structural steel operations in Orlando. This is a hands-on, field-based safety position for someone who understands active construction environments and can work effectively with project managers, superintendents, foremen, and field employees. You will spend your time in the field identifying hazards, reinforcing safe work practices, supporting regulatory compliance, and helping ensure work is performed safely and according to company expectations. The Site Safety Coordinator will provide daily safety support for structural steel construction activities in the Orlando area. This is not an office-based compliance position. The successful candidate must be visible in the field, build credibility with employees and supervisors, recognize hazards, communicate expectations clearly, and follow through until corrective actions are completed. The position requires someone who can balance employee coaching and relationship-building with the confidence to address unsafe conditions or behaviors immediately. The Site Safety Coordinator is responsible for supporting the implementation of company safety policies, project safety requirements, and applicable federal, state, and local regulations. This position works closely with field leadership and employees to conduct inspections, support training, maintain required documentation, assist with incident response, and reinforce a proactive safety culture throughout daily operations.
