POSITION SUMMARY
Ensure the safety of the production and non-production staff by maintaining and enforcing training, and ensuring company protocol is adhered to. Proactively identify and mitigate high-risk exposures before incidents occur, and keep the organization's safety policies and procedures current, field-tested, and consistently applied. Investigate accidents immediately upon notification. Meet with customers to communicate our safety culture to maximize customer satisfaction and safety.
HIGH PAYOFF ACTIVITES
Investigate Accidents Immediately Upon Notification
- Own the incident investigation process end-to-end, ensuring Workers' Compensation reporting, case management, and documentation are completed accurately and on time by the responsible team members.
- Ensure investigation paperwork is submitted within 24 hours of notification; direct trend and root-cause analysis across recordable incidents and report findings at leadership report-outs.
- Personally lead investigations on serious incidents and near misses; ensure all RCAs are unbiased, timely, and drive corrective action to closure.
- Convert every serious incident and near miss into a policy/procedure review trigger — determine whether the associated SOP, JHA, or MOP failed, was unclear, or was not followed, and issue revisions on a defined turnaround. Maintain a corrective action tracking system with a named owner, due date, and risk ranking for every finding; escalate overdue high-risk corrective actions directly to executive leadership until closed.
- Present investigation findings and trends to executive leadership and translate learnings into updated safety strategy and practices.
- Oversee, in conjunction with support from Human Resources, the light-duty transition process, ensuring a consistent, compliant approach across the organization.
Ensure Field and Office Safety
- Own and maintain the organization's written safety policies, ensuring they stay current with regulatory and operational changes.
- Establish a stop-work authority protocol empowering any employee to halt high-risk or energized work on the spot, with a defined, blame-free process for reporting, resolving, and re-authorizing work.
- Direct safety training programs across the organization, including new hire orientation and annual training, ensuring consistent delivery and compliance.
- Oversee field safety performance through a structured cadence of job site visits and audits (weekly for primary markets, biweekly for Tucson), holding field leadership accountable for findings.
- Ensure Service Department site visits occur on a regular cadence and drive follow-through on identified issues.
- Hold weekly meetings with the Safety Team and VP of Human Resources, setting the agenda and direction to keep Team aligned and outcome-focused.
Develop and Oversee Safety Strategy
- Set safety strategy aligned to company objectives and regulatory requirements; lead the annual safety improvement planning process. Own a formal policy and procedure governance lifecycle: schedule mandatory quarterly/annual reviews of all safety policies, procedures, SOPs, JHAs, and MOPs, plus triggered reviews upon regulatory change, incident findings, new equipment, or new work methods; maintain version control and a documented approval sign-off before release.
- Drive field adoption of every policy change, not just publication — build a rollout plan for each revision that includes communication, targeted training, and tracked field acknowledgment, with adoption verified through subsequent audits.
- Lead an enterprise-wide high-risk activity mitigation strategy: use leading and lagging indicators to identify the organization's top hazard exposures (energized electrical work, falls from height, mobile equipment/struck-by, confined space) and direct a hierarchy-of-controls approach that prioritizes elimination and engineering controls ahead of administrative controls and PPE.
- Own a critical control verification program for the highest-consequence risks — ensure controls such as lockout/tagout, fall-protection anchorage, confined-space atmospheric monitoring, and grounding/bonding are verified through direct field observation, not just paperwork compliance.
- Set standards for high-risk and energized work, ensuring enforcement of NFPA 70E and MOP procedures across the organization; personally review the highest-risk activities.
- Partner with Estimating and Project Management to embed high-risk mitigation planning into the pre-construction and bid phase, so safety requirements, staffing, and cost are built into the plan before mobilization rather than retrofitted in the field.
- Own the organization's safety culture strategy — safety leadership training, engagement campaigns, and recognition programs.
- Act as change-management owner for major safety policy and program rollouts — sequencing communication, training, and accountability so changes stick operationally rather than existing only on paper.
- Serve as the executive level voice for safety: report to ELT and project leadership, participate in strategic planning, and ensure contracts reflect safety compliance requirements.
Fleet Safety
- Develop and maintain safety standards for fleet operations and driving, ensuring alignment with company policy and DOT/regulatory requirements.
- Monitor driver telematics data to identify unsafe driving behaviors and safety trends; direct corrective action and coaching as needed.
- Oversee the safe driver program, ensuring consistent enforcement and accountability across the organization.
Maximize Customer Satisfaction and Safety while ensuring regulatory compliance
- Build and maintain relationships with General Contractors and site Superintendents, positioning the company's safety culture as a differentiator at project start and throughout.
- Own organizational compliance with OSHA, NEC, NFPA, and client-specific safety requirements
- Lead preparation for and represent the organization during external audits and inspections.
- Ensure safety documentation systems (SDS, training records, compliance records) are maintained and audit-ready at all times.
