About the role
Safety Manager Integrate safety into day-to-day project operations for your region — processes and procedures that prevent injuries, keep us compliant, and minimize environmental impact. Hands-on and field-first, not behind a desk. You'll integrate safety into the day-to-day operation of our South Texas projects — building and maintaining the processes and procedures that prevent injuries, keep us compliant with the law and company policy, and minimize the environmental impact of our operations. This is a hands-on, proactive role for someone who solves safety challenges in the field, not from behind a desk. • Pre-Task Risk Assessment: Preview projects and project sites before work begins to identify safety risks and plan the right controls. • Site Presence: Visit active project sites to assess ongoing conditions and ensure compliance — your eyes on the work, regularly. • Partner & Solve: Work with project management teams and field crews to develop and implement practical solutions to site safety issues. • Records & Compliance: Maintain safety documentation — including OSHA 300 logs — with audit-ready accuracy and controlled document management. • Training: Train employees on safe work practices and maintain safety training certifications, including OSHA OTI. • Accountability: Enforce minimum safety standards with employees and subcontractors — coach first, and act decisively when standards aren't met. • Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify emerging risks and implement countermeasures before they become incidents.
Must-haves:
- 8+ years in EH&S roles within manufacturing, industrial, or high-growth environments
- Working knowledge of OSHA standards and regulations for the trades you'll oversee
- Strong communication and listening skills — able to take feedback from the crew's perspective without passing judgment
- Excellent recordkeeping, including controlled documentation and change management
- Comfortable accessing elevated work via ladders or scaffolding to evaluate conditions
- A hands-on, proactive approach, with demonstrated initiative, identifying future risks and implementing countermeasures
Nice-to-haves:
- Safety certifications such as CHST, CSP, or OSHA 500/510 (authorized trainer)
- Experience in structural steel fabrication and erection specifically
- Bilingual English/Spanish — a real advantage for field training in South Texas
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
