Job Description - HSE Safety Specialist - Power & Electric Utility

We’re seeking an experienced HSE Safety Specialist to support a major U.S. electric utility with field safety oversight, control‑of‑work processes, and incident prevention across active utility operations. This role is ideal for a safety professional who thrives in dynamic field environments, understands the unique risks of electrical and distribution work, and can partner with crews and leadership to drive a strong safety culture.

If you excel at hazard identification, auditing, incident investigations, and ensuring safe execution of high‑risk work—this is a high‑impact opportunity to support infrastructure that keeps communities powered.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead day‑to‑day safety oversight for utility field operations, construction activities, and maintenance work
  • Ensure full compliance with Control of Work (CoW) processes, including permit‑to‑work, LOTO, confined space, hot work, and energized work protocols
  • Conduct incident investigations, root‑cause analysis, and corrective action development
  • Perform field safety audits, jobsite inspections, and behavioral observations to identify hazards and drive continuous improvement
  • Support crews working at heights, around energized equipment, and in other high‑risk environments
  • Provide coaching, toolbox talks, and safety training reinforcement to field teams
  • Partner with project managers, construction supervisors, and engineering teams to ensure safe planning and execution
  • Maintain documentation, reporting, and safety metrics for leadership review
  • Participate in safety meetings, risk assessments, and pre‑job planning sessions

What You Bring

Required

  • HSE certification (e.g., OSHA 30, CHST, CSP, CUSP, or equivalent)
  • Control of Work / Permit‑to‑Work experience (LOTO, hot work, confined space, energized work, etc.)
  • Incident investigation experience, including root‑cause analysis
  • Experience working at heights (utility poles, bucket trucks, towers, or elevated structures)
  • Auditing experience (field audits, safety inspections, compliance reviews)
  • Background in power, electric utility, transmission, or distribution environments
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to influence safe behaviors in the field
  • Ability to travel to field sites as needed

Preferred

  • Experience supporting construction, maintenance, or distribution line crews
  • Knowledge of OSHA, NFPA 70E, NESC, and utility safety standards
  • Experience in high‑risk environments such as substations, switching yards, or transmission corridors
  • Prior experience in hybrid field/office work environments
