Director of Safety

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
