Lead Safety Manager - West Lafayette, IN

🚧 NOW HIRING: SAFETY MANAGER | WEST LAFAYETTE, IN 🚧

Long-Term Opportunity | Major Hospital New-Build Project

We are seeking an experienced, field-driven Safety Manager to lead onsite safety for a major hospital construction project in West Lafayette, Indiana. This is an excellent opportunity for a safety professional looking for stability, leadership responsibility, and the chance to support a large-scale project from its early stages through completion.

The project recently broke ground, and you will serve as the primary onsite safety representative. We need someone who can confidently lead the safety program while maintaining a visible, hands-on presence in the field.

Project Details:

• Start Date: ASAP

• Employment Type: 1099 Contractor

• Location: West Lafayette, IN

• Project Duration: Approximately 2 years

• Pay Rate: $50-$55 per hour

• Per Diem: $140

• Schedule: Monday through Friday, approximately 40 hours per week

• Additional Hours: Weekends as project conditions require

• Project: General contractor overseeing a new-build hospital project

What You'll Be Doing:

• Serve as the lead and primary safety professional onsite

• Provide safety oversight across active general-construction operations

• Maintain a consistent, highly visible presence throughout the field

• Conduct routine jobsite inspections and identify unsafe conditions or behaviors

• Partner with project leadership, subcontractors, and field personnel to reinforce safety expectations

• Support pre-task planning, job hazard analyses, toolbox talks, and safety meetings

• Monitor contractor and subcontractor compliance with site safety requirements

• Address safety concerns promptly and follow corrective actions through completion

• Assist with incident and near-miss investigations

• Maintain accurate safety documentation, reports, and inspection records

• Help establish a proactive, accountable safety culture from the early stages of construction

What We're Looking For:

• Previous experience serving in a lead safety capacity

• Experience working directly for or alongside a general contractor

• Strong construction-safety knowledge and field awareness

• Ability to independently manage onsite safety responsibilities

• Confident communicator who can work effectively with project leadership, subcontractors, and craft personnel

• Willingness to remain actively engaged in field operations, not confined to an office

• Professional, proactive, and capable of taking ownership of the project's safety needs

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

✅ Two-year project duration
✅ Consistent weekday schedule
✅ Competitive hourly rate plus per diem
✅ Leadership ownership as the primary onsite safety professional
✅ Opportunity to join a major hospital project during its early construction phase

If you have the leadership experience, general-contractor background, and field presence required to own safety on a major construction project, we want to hear from you.

Apply today for immediate consideration.
