Project Overview

Sheakley is seeking an experienced Safety Coordinator for a large-scale gas processing facility project in Hobbs, NM.

This is a hands-on field safety role supporting full site development within a high-hazard oil and gas environment. The project includes civil work, structural steel erection, heavy equipment installation, high-pressure piping systems, pressure vessels, tank and storage installation, and electrical and instrumentation scope.

The Safety Coordinator will support day-to-day field safety across active construction and pre-commissioning activities, including hydrotesting, mechanical completion, loop checks, facility tie-ins, system cleaning, and equipment integration.

This is a strong opportunity for a safety professional with oil and gas, industrial, midstream, or heavy construction experience who is comfortable working in fast-paced, high-risk environments.

What You'll Be Doing

✅ Monitor field activity and enforce site safety policies and procedures
✅ Conduct daily safety meetings, inspections, audits, and observations
✅ Identify hazards and partner with field leadership to drive corrective action
✅ Support OSHA and company safety compliance across multiple scopes of work
✅ Assist with incident investigations, reporting, and documentation
✅ Coordinate with site management, subcontractors, and craft teams
✅ Promote a proactive safety culture across the project site
✅ Support safety oversight during civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and pre-commissioning activities

Qualifications

✅ OSHA 30 required
✅ Minimum 3 years of safety experience
✅ Oil and gas experience preferred
✅ Experience in high-hazard construction, industrial, or midstream environments strongly preferred
✅ Strong communication skills and confidence enforcing safety expectations in the field
✅ Ability to work 50+ hours per week on a 6-day schedule
✅ Comfortable working around heavy equipment, high-pressure systems, structural steel, piping, electrical systems, and active construction activities

Ideal Background

The ideal candidate will have experience supporting safety on oil and gas, industrial construction, gas processing, midstream, refinery, petrochemical, or heavy civil/mechanical projects.

Knowledge of OSHA standards, hazard recognition, field audits, incident reporting, high-pressure systems, hazardous area work, and pre-commissioning safety procedures is highly valuable.
