    We are looking for a dedicated Safety Attendant to join our HSE team. In this hands-on role, you will be the front-line guardian of workplace safety — monitoring conditions, enforcing procedures, and responding to incidents to protect every worker on site. Our safety philosophy is simple: all incidents and accidents can be prevented with proper job planning and hazard recognition. As a Safety Attendant, you are empowered with stop-work authority — if work cannot be done safely, you have the authority and responsibility to stop it.

    Key Responsibilities

    Follow all safety policies and procedures; notify supervision immediately if protocols cannot be met

    Wear all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) per company policies and contractor requirements

    Report all incidents and accidents, regardless of severity, to a supervisor immediately

    Exercise stop-work authority whenever work cannot be performed safely

    Actively identify unsafe conditions and behaviors and intervene immediately

    Communicate safety concerns, near misses, and unsafe conditions to supervisors and HSE leadership promptly

    Participate in Job Safety Analysis (JSA) / Pre-Task Plan (PTP) reviews as assigned

    Ensure all required permits (Confined Space, Hot Work, LOTO, etc.) are properly completed, verified, and closed out

    Ensure all workers entering confined spaces follow proper safety procedures

    Continuously observe workers inside confined spaces for signs of distress or injury

    Verify that safety equipment is in good working order at all times

    Enforce the wearing of appropriate PPE in all shop areas

    Assist with emergency response procedures in the event of a workplace incident

    Initiate rescue procedures and coordinate with emergency services as needed

    Provide first aid and CPR as necessary

    Document observations, inspections, and incidents clearly and accurately

    Maintain accurate records of work performed, write permits, and conduct safety inspections

    Report any safety violations or incidents to management

    Organize safety supplies and equipment with other Safety department staff

    Help maintain clean, orderly shops for housekeeping and safety purposes

    Perform other duties as assigned

    What We're Looking For

    Knowledge of OSHA regulations, confined space procedures, and permit-required work

    Familiarity with Job Safety Analysis (JSA) and Pre-Task Planning (PTP) processes

    Current First Aid & CPR certification (or willingness to obtain)

    Strong attention to detail and ability to remain calm under pressure

    Clear and accurate written and verbal communication skills

    Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced industrial environment

    Commitment to a zero-incident safety culture

    Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus
