Apply for this job

We’re a growing construction company looking for a Safety Director who brings energy, ownership, and leadership to the role. This is not a clipboard position. We want someone who sees safety as a business driver, takes command in the field, and enjoys building systems that actually work.


This role is ideal for a professional who thrives on solving problems, influencing teams, and leaving things better than they found them.


What You’ll Do


  • Lead and evolve a comprehensive safety strategy across active construction projects
  • Serve as a visible, trusted authority in the field—coaching teams, setting standards, and holding the line
  • Partner with executive leadership to embed safety into day-to-day operations and decision-making
  • Use data and field observations to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement
  • Develop and deliver training that is practical, relevant, and respected in the field
  • Investigate incidents and near misses, determine root causes, and implement long-term corrective actions
  • Ensure compliance with OSHA, local, state, and federal regulations
  • Drive a safety culture where people take pride in doing things the right way


Who We’re Looking For


  • A leader with command presence and the ability to influence without relying on title alone
  • Someone who is passionate about safety and takes it personally
  • A strategic thinker who can also roll up their sleeves when needed
  • A problem-solver who enjoys building, refining, and owning programs
  • A professional who earns credibility in the field and trust at the leadership level


Experience & Background


  • 10+ years of safety experience in construction, including leadership responsibility
  • Deep knowledge of construction safety regulations and best practices
  • Proven experience implementing and improving safety programs
  • Comfortable using data and metrics to drive decisions
  • Experience with modern construction platforms and safety systems is a plus


Why This Role


  • You’ll have the opportunity to make it your own
  • Direct access to leadership and real influence on how the business operates
  • A company that values accountability, initiative, and continuous improvement
  • The chance to build something meaningful, not just maintain what exists
