- A growth-oriented environment where you can build, standardize, and scale programs that improve performance.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration across Operations, HR, Safety, Fleet, and Finance.

What You’ll Do
Enterprise Safety Leadership

- Manage the safety budget, vendors, tools, and PPE strategy.
Fleet & Driver Safety (Critical Partnership)

- Lead fleet incident response and investigations in partnership with Fleet and claims partners, including preventability reviews and corrective actions.
- Partner with Fleet on readiness and compliance: vehicle inspections, maintenance adherence, and safety-critical standards.
- Use telematics and fleet data to identify trends and deploy targeted coaching and interventions.
Field Safety (Route-Based Operations)
- Implement practical, technician-ready safety programs (hazard identification, ladder/fall prevention, tools/equipment safety, customer requirements, LOTO as applicable).
- Embed safety into daily operations through partnerships with regional leaders and frontline supervisors.
- Build simple, effective near-miss and hazard reporting with strong follow-through and closure discipline.
Manufacturing / Facility Safety
- Lead safety programs for facilities/manufacturing environments (machine guarding, LOTO, ergonomics, PIT as applicable, chemical safety, PPE).
- Ensure site inspections, JSAs/JHAs, and corrective actions are completed to standard and on schedule.
Compliance, Training, and Culture
- Own OSHA recordkeeping and reporting (300/300A/301), incident classification, and inspection readiness.
- Build scalable training (onboarding, recurring requirements, supervisor training, and driver safety training).
- Drive safety communications and leader coaching to strengthen a consistent, accountable safety culture.
What You Bring
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Safety, Industrial Hygiene, Occupational Health, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 8+ years of progressive safety leadership across multi-site operations; experience supporting dispersed/frontline field teams strongly preferred.
- Strong OSHA knowledge, incident investigation capability, and recordkeeping proficiency.
- Demonstrated success improving safety performance through operational partnership, field execution, and leader accountability.
- Experience partnering with Fleet on driver safety and fleet risk reduction (incident response, preventability, coaching, readiness/inspection discipline).
- Ability to travel nationally up to 30–50%.
- Ability and willingness to work primarily from BFC’s Nashville office (this role is not remote).
