Site Safety Coordinator

Overview

We are seeking a dependable, observant, and proactive Site Safety Coordinator to join our team as a companion role supporting the existing site safety lead. This position focuses on field engagement and safety presence rather than documentation or program development. The project — a renovation of the historic MCS and the Boys & Girls Club of America — carries both heritage and heart.

The right candidate will bring a positive attitude, strong situational awareness, and respect for both the trades and the community impact of this work.

Key Responsibilities

Support daily field safety presence and maintain visibility throughout work zones.
Partner with the Safety Lead to identify and address hazards promptly.
Participate in site walks, toolbox talks, and daily coordination meetings.
Ensure contractors and trades follow existing site-specific safety policies.
Document and communicate field observations to the Safety Lead or General Site Safety Manager.
Reinforce a culture of respect, awareness, and teamwork on-site.
Promote compliance with OSHA and owner-specific requirements as outlined in the site audit plan.
Model professionalism and safety stewardship at all times.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a supervisory or policy-creation position.
All procedures, audits, and documentation systems are pre-established by the project's Safety Management Team.
The coordinator's focus is to assist implementation and maintain consistent safety presence in the field.

Qualifications

1–3 years of safety, construction, or industrial field experience preferred.
Working knowledge of OSHA standards and general construction safety practices.
Ability to communicate effectively with tradespeople, supervisors, and project partners.
Reliable, punctual, and comfortable with an active, outdoor work environment.
Must maintain a professional demeanor and good judgment under pressure.

Application Question(s)

"This project serves the Boys & Girls Club of America — what if you found out a shortcut on-site might get the job done faster but could endanger the finished space's long-term safety for kids? How would that influence your decision?"
