About The Position

Glydways is seeking a Site Safety Manager to lead the site safety management system for the Glydways Atlanta ATN Pilot Project. This role is crucial for ensuring safety across all phases of the project, including construction, integration and testing, commissioning, operations with passenger service, maintenance, modification, recovery, and emergency response. The Site Safety Manager will report directly to the Atlanta ATN Pilot Project Director for site delivery and coordination, and functionally to the Glydways Safety Lead for safety direction, competence, and assurance. This independent role involves performing site safety audits, restricting access or return to service, stopping work or service, and escalating imminent hazards. The Site Safety Manager is accountable for the occupational safety of all personnel on site, including Glydways employees, the operating organization, contractors, and visitors, as well as for the hazards introduced by the automated transit system. Key responsibilities include OSHA recordkeeping and reporting, hazard communication, lockout/tagout, PPE, work permits, access control, and managing simultaneous work controls. The role requires understanding and implementing Operational Limitations and Safety Related Application Conditions (SRACs) from the Safety Case, maintaining the ATL Site Hazard Log, and verifying control effectiveness. Collaboration with Quality to establish and enforce site safety SOPs, reviewing system faults with maintenance staff, and managing the FRACAS process are also key. The Site Safety Manager will own incident notification, investigation, and corrective actions, report safety performance, lead emergency preparedness, and provide safety inputs to operational readiness.
