Join a Leading Team in Data Center Safety

A prominent player in complex infrastructure and mission-critical projects is seeking a Safety Specialist to support a high-profile data center build. This position plays a key role in fostering a proactive, team-driven safety culture across all phases of construction.

As a Safety Specialist, you’ll be instrumental in driving an Incident and Injury-Free Culture (IIFC) on site. You’ll support compliance with OSHA and other safety regulations while collaborating with field leadership to execute safety initiatives. This includes maintaining a site-specific Safety Roadmap, facilitating incident investigations, and supporting the coordination of safety meetings and trainings.

Responsibilities:

  • Assist in executing project-specific safety programs
  • Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local safety regulations
  • Participate in and co-lead safety training and orientation sessions
  • Support injury and illness case management and incident response
  • Collaborate with field leadership to resolve safety concerns
  • Promote open communication and continuous improvement in safety performance

Minimum Requirements:

  • High School Diploma or GED

  • CPR/First Aid Certified (Trainer certification preferred)
  • 1–3 years of construction safety experience (electrical or data center experience a plus)

Preferred:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Safety, Construction Management, Engineering, or related field
  • Bilingual communication skills (a plus)

You’ll thrive in this role if you have a collaborative mindset, strong understanding of industry safety standards (NFPA, NESC, ASTM, ANSI), and a passion for ensuring the well-being of others.

Work Environment

Work is conducted both in office and active construction site environments, with occasional tasks performed at heights or in confined spaces. Must be able to lift up to 40 lbs.

Why Join Us?

This role offers hands-on experience in one of the fastest-growing construction sectors—data centers. You’ll be supported by a highly experienced team, gain access to continued learning opportunities, and be part of an organization where safety is woven into every decision made.
