Damage Prevention and Safety Coordinator At Clearway we are committed to every project. That is how we’ve evolved from a sewer and watermain contractor, to one of Canada’s most reputable construction companies with as many capabilities as there are needs. Clearway has been operating for more than 50 years, specializing in sewers and watermains, transportation, dry utilities, shoring, road reconstruction, concrete forming, marine, environmental remediation and treatment plants / pumping stations.

The Damage

Prevention and Safety Coordinator (DPC) is responsible for leading Clearway Construction’s pre-locate investigation program and ensuring all underground utilities and buried infrastructure are accurately identified, verified, and documented prior to any ground disturbance. This role is critical in protecting employees, the public, and third-party assets by ensuring no excavation or saw-cutting occurs without proper clearance. Reporting to the health and Safety Manager, the DPC also plays a key leadership role in fostering a proactive safety culture across field operations.
