Site Safety Manager

Glydways • Atlanta, GA

1d • Onsite

About The Position

The Site Safety Manager leads the site safety management system for the Glydways Atlanta ATN Pilot Project across construction, integration and testing, commissioning, operations with passenger service, maintenance, modification, recovery, and emergency response. The role reports directly to the Atlanta ATN Pilot Project Director for site delivery and coordination, and functionally to the Glydways Safety Lead within Safety, Quality and Compliance for safety direction, competence, and assurance. Independent of operations, the Site Safety Manager performs site safety audits, restricts access or return to service, stops work or service, and escalates imminent hazards, safety envelope breaches, or incomplete controls. The Site Safety Manager is accountable for occupational safety of everyone at the site, including Glydways personnel, the operating organization, contractors, and visitors, and for the hazards introduced by testing, commissioning, and operation of an automated transit system. This covers OSHA recordkeeping and reporting, hazard communication, lockout/tagout, PPE, work permits, access control, and the controls required wherever construction, testing, and passenger service take place at the same time. The Site Safety Manager understands Operational Limitations and Safety Related Application Conditions (SRACs) established in the Safety Case and owns their site implementation, communication, verification, and enforcement. The Site Safety Manager creates, maintains, and updates the ATL Site Hazard Log, and verifies that every hazard control is implemented and effective through regular inspections, independent audits, and follow up. Working with Quality, the manager establishes and enforces ATL site safety SOPs. With onsite maintenance staff, the manager reviews system faults and work orders and coordinates failure reports through the Glydways FRACAS process. The Site Safety Manager owns incident notification, investigation, and corrective actions, reports safety performance to the project and to Safety, Quality and Compliance, leads emergency preparedness and responder coordination, and provides the safety inputs to operational readiness.
