About the Opportunity

A confidential client is seeking an experienced Construction Safety Manager to support a ground-up science research center project in Tampa, FL.

This is a strong opportunity for a safety professional who enjoys being in the field, leading safety across an active multi-trade job site, and staying involved through critical phases of construction. The project will include a heavy focus on structural work, concrete, steel erection, building envelope installation, fall protection, crane activity, rigging operations, and leading-edge/open-deck safety.

The ideal candidate is confident, proactive, and comfortable holding subcontractors accountable while helping the project team maintain safe, productive jobsite operations.

What You'll Be Doing

As the Safety Manager, you will provide hands-on safety leadership throughout the project lifecycle. You will work closely with site leadership, subcontractors, and field personnel to identify hazards early, enforce site safety expectations, and help maintain OSHA and site-specific compliance.

Responsibilities include:

• Conducting daily site safety walks, inspections, and audits
• Leading toolbox talks, safety meetings, and pre-task planning discussions
• Reviewing and supporting JSAs/JHAs for high-risk construction activities
• Monitoring subcontractor safety performance and enforcing accountability
• Supporting fall protection planning for multi-story work
• Overseeing leading-edge, open-deck, structural steel, and concrete-related hazards
• Monitoring crane, rigging, and material handling activities
• Investigating incidents, documenting findings, and recommending corrective actions
• Partnering with field leadership to correct hazards before they become incidents
• Ensuring compliance with OSHA standards and project-specific safety requirements

What We're Looking For

Qualified candidates should have:

• 5+ years of construction safety experience
• Experience supporting large-scale, ground-up construction projects
• Strong multi-trade jobsite safety experience
• Experience with steel erection, concrete structures, or building envelope work
• Knowledge of fall protection requirements for elevated and multi-story construction
• Understanding of leading-edge and open-deck safety practices
• Experience with crane and rigging safety oversight
• Ability to manage subcontractor compliance and accountability
• Strong communication, documentation, and field leadership skills
• Bilingual English/Spanish is preferred, but not required

Ideal Background

This role is best suited for a Safety Manager who has supported complex commercial, institutional, industrial, healthcare, research, higher education, or technical facility construction projects.

Candidates with experience in structural steel, concrete, exterior skin/building envelope, crane operations, rigging, fall protection, and high-risk work planning are strongly encouraged to apply.

Why This Role Stands Out

• 1-year project duration
• Weekly pay
• Consistent 50-hour work weeks
• High-visibility ground-up construction project
• Strong opportunity to lead safety across structural and envelope phases
• Local Tampa-area opportunity with long-term project stability
