About the Role 

At GeoStabilization International, safety is not a checklist—it’s a leadership behavior and a strategic differentiator. As a Safety Technician, you’ll play a mission-critical role in embedding a culture of operational discipline, ownership, and high-performance field execution. This role is not just about compliance; it’s about enabling our crews to deliver elite results in high-risk environments—safely, repeatedly, at scale.

This role will focus on bringing a new corporate acquisition into compliance with GSI standards. This company does niche civil construction work and fabricates many of the components it uses in a Eugene, OR based machine shop.

We’re looking for a safety partner who brings more than technical know-how, someone who can help build relationships, develop a roadmap, adapt standards appropriately to this business, and develop a deep safety culture in the business.

Core Responsibilities:

• Partner with operations teams to proactively identify and mitigate safety risks on high-complexity job sites across the Western U.S. and Canada.
• Develop machine/fab shop safety standards that ensure the safe manufacture and shipping of components for field work.
• Lead field-level safety training, coaching, and culture shaping—tailored to project exposure, terrain, and team maturity.
• Investigate safety incidents with rigor; drive learning and policy adjustments grounded in root cause analysis and real-world crew input.
• Serve as the strategic interface between field crews, safety leadership, and clients—ensuring standards are upheld and solutions are adopted.
• Support talent, compliance, and people operations through documentation, onboarding, audits, and performance reviews when needed.
• Start facilitating formal crew-level training.
• Own regional project scheduling and contribute to HASP and startup protocols.
• Build subject matter expertise in Worker’s Comp, CPR/First Aid (Instructor-level preferred), and Owner compliance expectations.
• Become an OSHA Trainer; begin presenting at internal company meetings.

Must-Have Traits:

• High cognitive agility with the ability to adapt safety principles across diverse environments
• Strong interpersonal skills—can build trust from the field to the boardroom
• Demonstrated ownership: seeks root causes, not blame
• Unshakable calm under pressure; willing to act fast with imperfect information
• Evidence of growing scope of influence, stretch assignments, or lateral excellence

Qualifications:

• Working knowledge of OSHA or other safety and operational standards
• Prior experience supporting or leading field-based and/or manufacturing/machine shop safety programs
• Strong written and verbal communication, with a bias toward clarity and speed
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, SmartSheet, Box; comfortable navigating reporting tools
• Valid Driver’s License required; CHST, ASP, CSP or equivalent preferred (or a clear plan to obtain)

Top 10% Candidate Signals

• Have built or rebuilt safety programs with measurable incident reduction
• Thrived in military, industrial, or remote construction settings with minimal margin for error
• Are CPR/First Aid instructors or safety trainers with a track record of influencing others
• Consistently turned low-performing sites or teams into high-compliance environments

Physical & Travel Requirements

• Capable of lifting 60 lbs and traversing active job sites in all weather conditions
• Able to travel 50% of the time or more, including occasional short-notice deployments
• This is a field-first role—you’ll spend more time with crews than behind a desk
