What We're Looking For

This position would be a good fit for a safety professional who has developed a solid foundation in construction safety and is looking for an opportunity to take on greater responsibility within a growing construction company.

You don't need to be a senior Safety Manager. We're looking for someone who is:

- Comfortable spending significant time on active construction sites.
- Approachable and able to build positive relationships with field crews.
- Confident speaking up when something needs to be corrected.
- Organized and capable of keeping safety documentation and training requirements on track.
- Practical and solutions-oriented in their approach to construction safety.
- Able to work independently while knowing when an issue should be escalated to management or a senior safety resource.
- Interested in learning more about civil construction, earthworks and underground utilities.
- Motivated to grow their safety knowledge and responsibilities as Wire continues to grow.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who understands that a strong safety program is built through consistent field presence, communication and follow-through, not paperwork alone.
