About the Opportunity

✅ Reviewing work areas and activities to help ensure tasks are performed safely
✅ Monitoring high-risk work activities and providing proactive field support
✅ Maintaining accurate safety documentation, reports, and incident records
✅ Participating in incident response, investigations, and follow-up actions as needed
✅ Collaborating with project management, supervisors, and subcontractors to reinforce a strong safety culture
