Job Details

Under the direction of the Safety Manager, the Field Safety Representative is a salaried role responsible for supporting and strengthening the company's field safety program across customer job sites, embedded service locations, and larger project environments. This position provides hands-on safety leadership through scheduled site visits and operational support. The primary focus of this role is field oversight, program implementation, coaching, and continuous improvement — not long-term assignment to a single project. Work hours are generally aligned with standard business operations.

While this role is primarily structured around scheduled site visits and program development, in limited circumstances temporary on-site coverage may be required to meet customer requirements (e.g., workforce size thresholds) or during elevated-risk operations. Additionally, work schedules may adjust as necessary to respond to field-related incidents or significant safety events. For temporary assignments requiring extended travel or dedicated on-site coverage, additional travel-related benefits or compensation considerations may apply in accordance with company guidelines.

Essential Duties

• Travel regularly to customer sites to support a structured field visitation schedule across embedded locations, large-scale projects, shutdown/turnaround work, and elevated-risk scopes. In limited circumstances, temporary on-site assignments may be required to meet operational or customer needs.
• Provide field safety oversight and program support across customer job sites, embedded service locations, and large or higher-risk projects through scheduled site visits and operational engagement.
• Ensure compliance with company standards, customer requirements, OSHA regulations, and other applicable safety expectations by conducting jobsite walk-throughs, participating in site safety meetings, inspections, and audits, reviewing documentation (JSAs, permits, LOTO, etc.), completing field safety reporting, and developing site-related safety plans.
• Work closely with project managers and site leads to assess field performance, strengthen work execution, and drive a culture of safety through consistent presence, coaching, and accountability.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of field safety practices and programs, identify gaps or trends, and collaborate with the Safety Manager and Operations to develop, implement, and continuously improve field safety processes and standards.
• Lead and support incident investigations at customer sites, including responding to field-related incidents as needed, conducting interviews, documenting findings, performing root cause analysis, and collaborating with internal and customer safety departments to determine and track corrective actions.
• Promotes safe behaviors to help drive a positive safety culture across all levels of the workforce.
• Duties and Responsibilities can change from time to time based on business needs, customer demands or other industry or job-related circumstances
