At GeoStabilization International (GSI), safety is not a checklist—it is a leadership behavior and a strategic differentiator. As a Safety Technician III, you will play a mission-critical role in embedding a culture of operational discipline, ownership, and high-performance execution.

This role is not just about compliance; it is about enabling our crews to deliver elite results in high-risk, high-complexity environments—safely, repeatedly, and at scale. We are looking for a safety partner who brings more than technical knowledge; we need a relationship-builder who can adapt standards to the unique demands of geohazard mitigation and foster a deep-rooted safety culture across the Western US. This role will be based out of Erie, Colorado and will require travel 50% of the time.

Responsibilities:

• Operational Partnership: Collaborate with field operations to proactively identify and mitigate risks on complex, high-exposure job sites.
• Culture & Coaching: Lead field-level training and "in-the-trenches" coaching tailored to specific terrain, project exposure, and team maturity.
• Incident Investigation: Conduct rigorous root-cause analyses of safety incidents; drive organizational learning and policy adjustments based on real-world field input.
• Strategic Interface: Serve as the bridge between field crews, safety leadership, and clients to ensure standards are upheld and safety solutions are adopted.
• Training & Mentorship: Facilitate formal crew-level training, work toward becoming a certified OSHA Trainer, and present at internal company-wide meetings.
• Project Oversight: Own regional project scheduling and contribute to the development of Health and Safety Plans (HASP) and project startup protocols.
• Compliance Expertise: Build subject matter expertise in Worker’s Compensation, Owner-specific compliance, and CPR/First Aid (Instructor-level).

Qualifications:

• Experience: 4+ years of dedicated safety experience, specifically within construction or heavy industrial sectors.
• Standards Knowledge: Working knowledge of OSHA, MSHA, or relevant industrial safety and operational standards.
• Technical Proficiency: Proficient in Microsoft Office, SmartSheet, and Box; comfortable navigating digital reporting tools.
• Licensing: Valid Driver’s License required.
• Certifications: CHST, ASP, or CSP preferred (or a clear path/commitment to obtain these within 12 months).

• You are a CPR/First Aid instructor or a seasoned safety trainer with a track record of influencing behavior.
• You have a history of turning low-performing sites into high-compliance, elite environments.

Physical & Travel Requirements

• Field-First Mindset: This is a field-based role; you will spend significantly more time with crews than behind a desk.
• Travel: Ability to travel 50% or more, including occasional short-notice deployments.
• Physicality: Capable of lifting 60 lbs and traversing active, rugged job sites in all weather conditions.
