West Henrietta, NY - Safety Superintendent

Safety Superintendent

See the hazard. Speak up. Lead the solution.

At The DDS Companies, safety isn’t something we save for a morning meeting or a checklist. It happens in the field, at the work face, before the first bucket hits the ground and throughout every job.

We’re looking for a Safety Superintendent who knows construction, understands crews, and isn’t afraid to step in when something doesn’t look right.

This is a boots-on-the-ground leadership role for someone who can walk onto an active jobsite, spot potential hazards, work alongside field leadership to solve them, and earn the trust of the people doing the work.

You’ll partner with Superintendents, General Foremen, Foremen, Operations, HR, Fleet, Risk, and our clients to make one thing clear:

We can get the job done AND get it done safely.

Pay Range: $105,000-$130,000 annually

Position Type: Full Time, Exempt 

Actual compensation will be based on relevant experience, qualifications, certifications, demonstrated skill level, internal equity, and business needs.

What we are looking for:

• Can spot hazards before work begins
• Know how to apply the hierarchy of controls in real field conditions
• Understand OSHA, DOT, OQ, and client requirements
• Can make sound decisions when things are moving quickly
• Aren't afraid to stop work when conditions aren't safe
• Can explain complicated safety requirements in plain English
• Know how to lead an engaging toolbox talk
• Can investigate an incident objectively and get to the root cause
• Follow through until corrective actions are actually closed
• Can balance production needs with safe execution
• Know how to hold people accountable without becoming the person everyone avoids when you walk onto the jobsite

Preferred:

• Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Occupational Safety & Health, Construction Management, or a related field
• CHST, STS, or ASP credential
• OSHA 500/510 training or Authorized Trainer designation, as applicable
• Competent-person training in excavation/trenching, fall protection, or confined space
• Gas distribution, energy services, telecom, or heavy-civil construction experience
• Experience with ISNetworld

Experience & Education:

• High school diploma or GED
• 7+ years of construction, utility, or heavy-civil field experience
• At least 3 years in a dedicated safety role
• OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification
• Current First Aid/CPR/AED certification, or ability to obtain it within 30 days of hire
• Valid driver’s license and acceptable motor vehicle record
