As part of our mobile data center workforce, you'll train at our Plano, TX headquarters, then deploy to major data center projects across the U.S. to elevate safety performance, mentor teams, and represent Black Box's uncompromising commitment to safety excellence.

If you are a decisive leader, skilled communicator, and an expert in construction safety management - this is where you make your impact.

Be the Safety Leader Everyone Trusts

  • Work directly with Site Leadership daily to drive a strong safety culture and ensure full compliance with all company, customer, and regulatory standards.


  • Act as the onsite authority for EHS activities: inspections, audits, daily walks, toolbox talks, and real-time risk mitigation.


  • Maintain a visible, engaged presence - modeling what "Safety First" looks like in action.


Develop & Coach High Performing Safety Teams

  • Lead and mentor EHS Specialists and Safety Coordinators, including delegating tasks, scheduling, and developing talent.


  • Deliver impactful onboarding, training, and safety coaching for field staff, subcontractors, and visitors.


Drive High-quality Incident Prevention & Response

  • Lead incident investigations, conduct root cause analysis (RCA), and implement corrective actions.


  • Champion continuous improvement practices that reduce risk, prevent reoccurrence, and strengthen site performance.


Elevate EHS Operations & Communication

  • Serve as the communication bridge between Corporate EHS, site teams, subcontractors, and client partners.


  • Manage all EHS documentation, SDS inventories, metrics, and reporting cadence to the EHS Program Manager.


  • Review and refine EHS processes, procedures, and forms - ensuring projects stay aligned with corporate standards.


Build a Strong Safety Culture Across the U.S.

  • As a mobile workforce leader, travel to new data center locations and help accelerate the growth of Black Box's national safety program.


  • Bring consistency, leadership, and proactive safety management to every new project site.


What Success Looks Like

You will thrive in this role if you bring:

  • Exceptional leadership, coaching, mentoring, and teambuilding abilities.


  • A deep understanding of OSHA standards, construction safety regulations, and best practices.


  • Excellent communication skills, with the presence to influence at every level - from frontline workers to senior executives.


  • Strong conflict resolution capabilities and the confidence to manage competing priorities in fast-moving environments.


  • Outstanding analytical skills, with expertise in incident investigations, RCAs, and hazard mitigation.


  • The ability to create structure, build processes, implement improvements, and drive consistent EHS performance.


  • A positive, resilient attitude - thriving under pressure and adapting with professionalism.
