Beacon Technologies is seeking a Site Safety Manager for our client partner. This position will provide on-site safety oversight for a large multi-year power generation construction project. This position is responsible for monitoring and verifying contractor compliance, assessing the effectiveness of safety programs in practice, and influencing safe work execution across all project activities.
The Site Safety Manager is a field-based role focused on risk identification, contractor engagement, and verifying the effectiveness of safety systems, with an emphasis on serious injury and fatality (SIF) prevention during high-risk wind construction activities. This position will verify, monitor, and reinforce that EPC contractors and subcontractors effectively plan and execute work in compliance with applicable regulations, contractual safety requirements, and safety expectations. This position does not direct construction means and methods and does not directly manage craft labor or contractor safety staff. Instead, the Site Safety Manager will function as a knowledgeable, visible field presence who set clear expectations, identifies risk, and escalates concerns to ensure serious injuries and incidents are prevented.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Field Oversight & Risk Monitoring
• Maintain a regular field presence observing wind construction activities including civil work, turbine erection, crane operations, commissioning, and electrical activities.
• Verify that contractors are implementing approved Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), lift plans, rescue plans, and safe work practices appropriate to site conditions.
• Identify emerging risks related to schedule changes, weather, workforce turnover, and simultaneous operations; communicate concerns promptly to contractor and leadership.
• Contractor Interface & Engagement
• Interface routinely with EPC and subcontractor safety representatives and field supervision to discuss hazard controls, work planning, and observed trends.
• Participate in safety meetings, pre task planning sessions, and toolbox talks as an observer and advisor.
• Encourage timely correction of unsafe conditions or behaviors while maintaining proper oversight boundaries.
• Compliance Verification
• Monitor contractor compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926, applicable state regulations, and contractual safety requirements.
• Conduct documented site observations, inspections, and audits focused on critical risk activities (working at height, crane lifts, electrical work, confined space, energized work, and weather exposure).
• Track and follow up on corrective actions to closure and escalate unresolved issues as appropriate.
• Incident & Learning Support
• Support the review of near misses, incidents, and injuries reported by contractors.
• Participate in incident learning activities, emphasizing system improvements and SIF prevention rather than fault finding.
• Assist safety leadership with trend analysis and sharing of lessons learned across projects, as requested.
• Reporting & Communication
• Provide routine written and verbal safety updates to project management and safety leadership.
• Document observations, leading indicators, and notable concerns in site safety reports.
• Coordinate closely with other representatives (construction, environmental, quality) to address overlapping risks.
• Participate in or observe incident, near-miss, and high-potential event investigations led by contractors.
• Review root cause analyses and corrective actions for adequacy, sustainability, and alignment with expectations.
• Track recurring issues and systemic weaknesses across contractors and work scopes.
• Coordination & Communication
• Attend coordination meetings, planning meetings, and safety meetings as the safety representative.
• Provide clear, factual safety reports and recommendations to project leadership.
• Support alignment between safety expectations.

Required Qualifications:

• Minimum 5–7 years of construction safety experience, with experience on power generation, heavy-industrial, energy large-scale projects preferred.
• Professional safety certification (CHST, ASP, CSP strongly preferred).
• Demonstrated experience in a representative role.
• Proven ability to influence without direct authority.
• Strong working knowledge high-risk construction activities.
• Experience reviewing construction safety programs, JSAs, lifting plans, confined space activities, and other critical work plans.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Safety, Construction Management, or related field.
• Experience supporting capital construction or outage environments.
• Familiarity with Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention principles and critical risk management.

Work Environment:

• This is a field-based role requiring routine presence in active construction areas. Duties include walking on uneven terrain, climbing stairs or ladders, and wearing required PPE. Extended or irregular hours may be necessary to support critical work activities.
