Role Overview:

The Safety Specialist supports all safety, health, and environmental (HSE) activities across the full lifecycle of a power generation site, including construction, generator installation, commissioning, plant operations, and service/maintenance operations. This role helps identify hazards, monitor field conditions, conduct training, and ensure compliance with project HSE plans and regulatory requirements. The Safety Specialist works closely with project and plant management teams, technicians, and contractors to maintain a safe work environment and promote a strong safety culture.

This is a site-based role but will require up to 25% travel. During project assignments, the Safety Specialist may support and travel for corporate safety initiatives such as procedure development, audits, inspections, incident review, and training support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as a technical resource during construction, installation, commissioning, and ongoing operations.
• Conduct regular inspections of work areas, equipment, personnel, and ongoing tasks to ensure compliance with HSE requirements.
• Support industrial hygiene sampling, including gas detection, noise monitoring, and heat-stress monitoring.
• Assist with environmental compliance, monitoring and reporting tasks such as waste management, chemical management, recycling programs, SPCC, spill prevention, and stormwater controls.
• Support, conduct and analyze EHS inspections, auditing and contractor compliance.
• Identify and communicate hazards related to energized work, heavy equipment, rigging, lifting, excavation, confined spaces, line-of-fire exposures, and mechanical work.
• Stop work when unsafe conditions exist and coordinate corrective actions.
• Participate in pre-task planning, JSA/HHA reviews, permit reviews, tailboard meetings, and contractor coordination sessions.
• Interpret and explain safety requirements to project personnel.
• Assist in developing and delivering HSE orientations for all personnel entering the designated site.
• Support training programs on electrical safety, working at heights, LOTO, event/ emergency response, and other topics.
• Prepare clear written communications, reports, and client-required documentation.
• Collect data, maintain records, and support preparation of reports, KPIs, and trend analyses.
• Maintain location HSE database entries (observations, incidents, audits, inspections, corrective actions, training records).
• Participate in investigations of near misses, injuries, unsafe conditions, environmental releases, and property damage; support root-cause analysis and corrective/preventative actions.
• Assist in developing HSE procedures and environmental compliance documents.
• Assist and support EHS team initiatives and program rollout.
• Review trends and leading indicators to recommend proactive improvements.
• Support daily work planning with guidance from senior HSE personnel.
• Contribute to weekly safety meetings and help develop safety-meeting content.
