Safety Manager
Why This Role Matters
<\/h2>
This builder earned its name on a simple principle: do what you say you are going to do, and treat people the way you want to be treated. On a jobsite, that principle has a hard edge. It means every worker, on the self\-perform crews and across every subcontractor, goes home the way they arrived.
<\/p>
This Safety Manager sits at the point where that promise is kept or broken. The company holds an industry\-recognized safety record, including OSHA SHARP accreditation and national safety excellence awards. None of that holds itself up. It holds because a person walks the site, sees the hazard before it becomes an incident, and gets the correction made across crews that may not speak the same first language. This is not a compliance seat that pushes forms. It is a leadership seat that protects people and protects the project.

The Mission
<\/h2>
In the first 12 months, own safety performance across your assigned jobsites in the Atlanta or Raleigh market and make the standard visible in the field, not just in the binder. Build the kind of site presence where crews self\-correct because they know the standard and trust the person enforcing it. Keep the self\-perform work and every subcontractor inside the same safety expectation, with no exceptions that get explained away after the fact.
<\/p>
You will run the Construction Safety Management Program on the ground, lead job hazard analysis and site safety work plans before the work starts, and turn incident data into something leadership can act on. The job is measured by what does not happen on your sites.

Performance Objectives
<\/h2>
These are outcomes, not tasks. Targets and timeframes are role\-standard and should be calibrated to the client's confirmed metrics before sourcing.
<\/p>
Drive<\/b> recordable incident performance on assigned sites to better than the company and regional benchmark within the first 12 months, measured against the current TRIR baseline.
<\/p><\/blockquote>Lead<\/b> job hazard analysis, site safety work plans, and public hazard analysis on every assigned project before site activity begins, measured by zero work starts without an accepted plan in place.
<\/p><\/blockquote>Close<\/b> site safety inspection findings across self\-perform crews and all subcontractors within the correction window, measured by open\-finding aging and repeat\-finding rate.
<\/p><\/blockquote>Stand up<\/b> a contractor orientation process that works for a multi\-lingual workforce, measured by orientation completion before first day on site, with no untrained worker on the wall.
<\/p><\/blockquote>Convert<\/b> workers' compensation and general liability claim reviews and inspection data into management\-level loss\-control reporting that leadership uses to make decisions, delivered on a consistent reporting cadence.
<\/p><\/blockquote>Represent<\/b> loss\-control performance expectations in pre\-bid and post\-award meetings so safety is priced and planned in, not bolted on after award.

<\/div>Fit Traits
<\/h2>These traits are derived from the confirmed nature of the role. They will sharpen once the hiring leader's specific signals are captured.
<\/p>Walks the work.<\/b> This is an office job that is field based. The person who wins here is energized by being on site at 7 a.m., not by managing safety from a screen. The site is where the job is done.
<\/p>Influence without a hammer.<\/b> A Safety Manager at a top general contractor has authority on paper and persuasion in practice. You will get corrections made across subcontractor crews who do not report to you, and across crews who may not share your first language. People follow the safety leader they respect, not the one they are told to obey.
<\/p>Composed when it counts.<\/b> Incidents, audits, and inspections do not announce themselves on a convenient schedule. The standard does not move because the day got hard.
<\/p>Builds the culture, not just the file.<\/b> This contractor has built a genuine safety reputation. This seat protects it by making the standard something crews own, not something they dodge.
<\/p>
<\/div>Who You'll Work For
<\/h2>You will work inside a locally led regional team. The company runs on a values\-first culture and has been recognized repeatedly as a top workplace. The Raleigh office anchors the firm's Carolinas presence.
<\/p>The teams are built around people who do what they say and treat the trades and the crews with respect. Safety leadership here is supported by the operation, not isolated from it.
