Lead morning hazard briefings and deliver daily Toolbox Talks. Serve as the primary point of contact for the client's safety representatives to ensure continuous site access.

Administrative Discipline:

Manage all digital documentation (JHA/PTPs) via a mobile application. Responsible for both start-of-shift and end-of-shift reporting.

Safety Authority:

Exercise full "Stop Work Authority" to correct unsafe acts or remove damaged equipment (e.g., ladders/tools) according to company policy. Qualifications OSHA 30 (minimum required). (OSHA 500 is not required for this level).

Certifications:

Current certifications in Confined Space, Aerial Lift, Fall Protection, and Competent Person status.

Character:

High-level professionalism and punctuality are mandatory. We seek individuals who lead by example and set a positive, contagious tone for the field crews.

Physicality:

Background:
