Site Safety Officer Position Summary

HC Concrete Construction Group is seeking a Site Safety Officer to support and strengthen our safety culture from the ground up. This is a field-first leadership role, focused on daily job site engagement, crew empowerment, and proactive risk management—particularly in self-perform vertical concrete construction.

This role plays a key part in strengthening the connection between field and office, improving jobsite performance, and supporting every crew member's ability to work safe and smart.

• Respond to safety incidents with professionalism, tact, and a solutions-oriented approach.
• Assist in bilingual (English/Spanish) communication, orientations, and onsite safety meetings.
