About the Role 

At GeoStabilization International (GSI), safety is not a checklist—it is a leadership behavior and a strategic differentiator. As a Safety Technician, you will play a mission-critical role in embedding a culture of operational discipline, ownership, and high-performance execution.

This role is not just about compliance; it is about enabling our crews to deliver elite results in high-risk, high-complexity environments—safely, repeatedly, and at scale. We are looking for a safety partner who brings more than technical knowledge; we need a relationship-builder who can adapt standards to the unique demands of geohazard mitigation and foster a deep-rooted safety culture across the Western US. This role will be based out of San Louis Obisbo, California and will require travel 50% of the time.

• Operational Partnership: Collaborate with field operations to proactively identify and mitigate risks on complex, high-exposure job sites.

• Culture & Coaching: Lead field-level training and "in-the-trenches" coaching tailored to specific terrain, project exposure, and team maturity.

• Incident Investigation: Conduct rigorous root-cause analyses of safety incidents; drive organizational learning and policy adjustments based on real-world field input.

• Strategic Interface: Serve as the bridge between field crews, safety leadership, and clients to ensure standards are upheld and safety solutions are adopted.

• Training & Mentorship: Facilitate formal crew-level training, work toward becoming a certified OSHA Trainer, and present at internal company-wide meetings.

• Project Oversight: Own regional project scheduling and contribute to the development of Health and Safety Plans (HASP) and project startup protocols.

• Compliance Expertise: Build subject matter expertise in Worker’s Compensation, Owner-specific compliance, and CPR/First Aid (Instructor-level).

• Experience: 4+ years of dedicated safety experience, specifically within construction or heavy industrial sectors.

• Standards Knowledge: Working knowledge of OSHA, MSHA, or relevant industrial safety and operational standards.

• Technical Proficiency: Proficient in Microsoft Office, SmartSheet, and Box; comfortable navigating digital reporting tools.

• Licensing: Valid Driver’s License required.

• Certifications: CHST, ASP, or CSP preferred (or a clear path/commitment to obtain these within 12 months).
