Federal/Medical Jobs - Johnson City, TN - $100k-$120k We're hiring a Construction Site Safety Manager (SSHO) to join our team. You'll own the build-out of our jobsite safety management system - policies, procedures, and field execution that meet all applicable safety regulations. This role is hands-on: maintain and document safety standards, spot issues early, and drive corrective actions to closure. We're also open to an aspiring Assistant Superintendent / Project Supervisor who wants to grow into a safety leadership role. If you have 3–5 years of field leadership experience and you're ready to be trained into a strong safety manager - while communicating clearly with crews and leadership - apply now. Why This Role Matters
- Prevent incidents and shutdowns through strong pre-task planning
- Enforce subcontractor compliance and jobsite standards
- Keep safety documentation audit-ready (federal/medical expectations)

What You'll Do Own daily jobsite safety execution for active projects in/around Johnson City, TN (travel as needed).Build, implement, and enforce the Site Safety & Health Plan (SSHP/SSSP) and AHA/JHA/JSA process.
Lead new-hire/sub orientation, daily/weekly toolbox talks, and task-specific safety training.
Perform jobsite inspections/audits; document findings, corrective actions, and verify closeout.
Manage incident and near-miss reporting, investigations, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions.
Enforce subcontractor safety compliance with clear expectations and stop-work authority when required.
Support high-risk work controls (fall protection, excavation, scaffolding, crane/rigging, hot work, confined space, LOTO).Maintain audit-ready safety documentation aligned with federal/medical client requirements.
Use digital tools to track and report safety items (Autodesk Build, iAuditor/SafetyCulture, or similar).Coordinate with PMs/Supers to plan safe work before it starts—safety that supports production.
Qualifications:
Required 5 years of construction safety experience, or 3 years with CSP, CSHT certifications, or a safety and health degree from an accredited university.
Proven experience leading safety on active construction sites (GC or prime sub).Strong OSHA field knowledge and the ability to apply it to real work in the field.

Strong written documentation and communication skills.
OSHA 30 and CPR/First Aid (or ability to obtain quickly).Valid driver's license; ability to travel to jobsites as needed. Also Considered (Train-into-Safety Path) 3–5 years as an Assistant Superintendent/Project Supervisor with strong field leadership (must still have the required safety experience/exposure as described above).Demonstrated interest in owning safety execution and growing into a safety leadership role (we can train the right person). Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Federal/public works safety experience (EM 385-1-1 / USACE / NAVFAC / VA).CHST/CSP/ASP/STS (or in progress); OSHA 510/500 a plus.
