Boldt is growing its presence in the rapidly expanding data center market and is looking for an experienced Safety Manager I to help lead the next generation of mission-critical construction projects.

It's an opportunity to be a key member of the project leadership team, influencing decisions from planning through execution and helping establish the safety standards that define project success.

You'll work directly in the field alongside project managers, superintendents, craft professionals, trade partners, and clients, fostering a proactive safety culture on some of the most complex projects in the country. Successful candidates will bring experience supporting data center construction projects, strong leadership capabilities, and a passion for building relationships that drive both safety performance and operational excellence.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's Degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Construction Management, or a related field. Equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience may be considered.
  • 5-7 years of construction and/or industrial safety experience.
  • Experience leading safety initiatives on large commercial, industrial, manufacturing, mission-critical, or data center construction projects.
  • Strong knowledge of OSHA regulations, hazard recognition, incident investigation, risk mitigation, and construction safety best practices.
  • Experience conducting jobsite safety audits, inspections, and compliance reporting.
  • Ability to collaborate with project managers, superintendents, trade partners, craft professionals, and clients to create and maintain a proactive safety culture.
  • Experience developing and delivering safety training programs related to fall protection, confined space, respiratory protection, equipment operation, and other high-risk construction activities.
  • Strong communication, relationship-building, and coaching skills with the ability to influence through partnership and trust rather than enforcement.
  • Ability to identify risks early, develop practical solutions, and integrate safety into project planning and field execution.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to balance field presence, reporting requirements, and project demands.
  • Willingness to travel and work on active project sites as needed.


Nice to Have

  • Experience supporting self-perform work
