Overview

Safety Engineer - Field-Based Role

Danis is a trusted leader in construction management, combining over a century of expertise with a forward-thinking approach to deliver excellence and innovation. Since 1916, we have been builders, visionaries, and problem-solvers, driven by a passion for tackling complex projects and exceeding client expectations.

Are you ready to make safety your mission? Our Safety Engineer role isn't about sitting behind a desk-it's about being on the front lines, boots on the ground, making a real difference where it matters most. You'll be the safety champion our field teams rely on, turning regulations into practical solutions and transforming jobsites into models of safety excellence.

This hands-on position combines technical expertise with people skills, requiring someone who thrives in dynamic field environments and enjoys coaching teams to achieve zero-incident goals. You'll spend your days directly with our construction crews, identifying challenges, providing solutions, and building the kind of safety culture that keeps families whole.

What Makes This Role Special :

  • Field-focused : 80%+ of your time will be on active construction sites, working alongside our teams
  • Direct impact : Your work immediately affects the safety and well-being of real people doing challenging work
  • Problem-solving : Every day brings unique safety challenges that require creative, practical solutions
  • Leadership opportunity : Coach and mentor crews while building lasting safety practices

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities :

Safety Program Support

  • Support project teams in establishing jobsite-specific safety programs tailored to each unique environment
  • Participate in and help facilitate safety preplanning sessions for assigned projects
  • Perform thorough jobsite audits on assigned projects, identifying opportunities for improvement
  • Hands-On Safety Coaching

  • Coach workforce on proper safety procedures and processes through demonstrations and real-time guidance
  • Conduct detailed incident investigations, gathering facts and contributing to lessons learned
  • Provide practical safety solutions to technical challenges that arise in the field
  • Communication & Collaboration

  • Act as a vital liaison between management and field employees, ensuring clear two-way communication
  • Network with local safety groups and associations to stay current on industry trends and best practices
  • Assess training needs based on jobsite conditions, issues, and emerging trends
  • Training & Development Support

  • Communication excellence : Explain safety concepts clearly to diverse audiences
  • Physical capability : Comfortable working in all weather conditions across various construction sites
