Construction Safety Manager - Diversified Construction Safety Inc

At Diversified Construction Safety, the Construction Safety Manager plays an important role in assisting construction personnel. While construction workers focus on finishing jobs and delivering excellent projects to the company's clients, Construction Safety Managers help them to stay focused on completing those projects in a safe manner. We work for the General Contractor and subcontractors to get a snapshot of the project at that moment. Accident investigation and OSHA investigation are a critical part of the job, as well as generating new clientele by way of networking and referral sources.

Construction Safety Manager Duties and Responsibilities

The Construction Safety Manager assists construction crews by inspecting project sites and evaluating working conditions. They contribute to the identification of safety issues and risks on project sites. Once hazards are identified, they collaborate with project leadership to develop ways to reduce exposure to those risks. The project site visit consists of walking job sites at various stages of the project and identifying hazardous situations as well as acknowledging excellent work. In the unfortunate event of an accident, we may be called on to provide a full accident investigation and write-up, and should OSHA be involved, we will work alongside our client to assist with the situation as needed. Other Duties and Responsibilities include the following:

• Identifying new client opportunities to increase DCS sales, and managing existing client relationships, ensuring all jobs are completed.
• Conducting site visits and spot audits, verifying that employees are consistently following safety protocols.

• Writing reports, responding to inquiries and concerns, and determining that each department is following regulations.
