Safety Director - Construction - Base Salary to 150k/year - Dayton, OH
- AllSearch Recruiting is urgently seeking a Safety Director for our client in the Cincinnati/Dayton area. The Safety Director will oversee a safety team of 40+ within a high-growth electrical contractor specializing in mission-critical environments, currently executing multiple datacenter projects (most valued above $50M) along with other complex commercial and industrial construction projects. The Safety Director will need to be an accomplished, credentialed safety leader who can earn immediate trust, seamlessly integrate with our existing teams, and elevate an already strong safety culture.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as the company's senior safety authority, reporting directly to the President and partnering daily with the VP of Operations to align safety strategy with production goals.
- Spend approximately 50% of time in the field visiting active construction sites (primarily Ohio) – conducting in-depth incident investigations, coaching superintendents and foremen in real time, and addressing customer safety concerns on-site when required.
- Build relationships, not citations. You will not be "the safety cop." Your role is to merge your deep expertise with our clients' existing processes and people, communicate clearly and respectfully at all levels, and drive continuous improvement through collaboration and trust.
- Lead the ongoing development and execution of the corporate safety program, including policy updates, training curriculum, risk assessments, and safety technology implementation.
- Oversee subcontractor safety performance, pre-qualification, and coordination on large, high-visibility projects governed by strict NDAs.
- Maintain all required OSHA reporting (300 logs, 301s, etc.), manage claims, and serve as the primary point of contact for OSHA, insurance carriers, and third-party auditors.
- Flexibility is critical – project needs and incident response don't follow a 9-5 schedule. Availability (even while on PTO when truly urgent) is expected.
Qualifications:
- Extensive electrical construction experience is mandatory – journeyman or master electrician education/license strongly preferred.
- Ability to speak the trade fluently and understand the real-world hazards electricians face every day on datacenter, industrial, and commercial projects.
- Proven track record as a Safety Director or senior safety leader with an electrical or specialty contractor (datacenter, mission-critical, or heavy commercial experience is a major plus).
- OSHA 500 (Trainer) certification in Construction is required.
- VPP (OSHA Voluntary Protection Program – Building and Construction) authorization strongly preferred.
- Additional trusted credentials such as CHST, CSP, ASP, OHST, SMS, or a safety-related degree are highly valued.
- Ability to deliver difficult messages constructively, train large groups, write clear policies, and gain buy-in from craft workers and executives alike.
Compensation:
- Base salary in the 130k - 150k/year range, flexible dependent on experience
- Discretionary performance bonus
- MDV Benefits: Full package effective first day of employment
- 7% profit sharing (3-year vesting), 401k with match, PTO, and more.
