HSE Coordinator

Core Field Responsibilities

• Field Safety Presence: Spend approximately 70% of the workday in the field, actively observing construction activities, engaging crews, recognizing hazards, and coaching safe work behaviors.
• Hazard Identification & Correction: Identify unsafe conditions, behaviors, and changing jobsite hazards. Work with Foremen and Superintendents to establish corrective actions and verify deficiencies are addressed.
• Stop Work Authority: Support and reinforce Stop Work Authority when an uncontrolled or serious hazard exists. Immediately communicate significant safety concerns to responsible supervision and HSE/Project Management.
• Civil Construction Safety: Monitor activities such as clearing, grading, earthwork, excavation/trenching, underground utilities, road construction, drainage, pile driving, concrete work, heavy/mobile equipment, spotter operations, lifting/rigging, material handling, traffic control, and equipment-pedestrian interaction.
• JSA/JHA & Pre-Task Planning: Review JSAs/JHAs and pre-task plans to verify work steps, hazards, and controls accurately reflect field conditions. Coach Foremen and crews on improving hazard recognition and revise plans when work conditions or scope change.
• Field Inspections: Conduct and document routine HSE inspections, including a minimum of five documented safety inspections per week per assigned project, and participate in joint inspections with Operations and project leadership.
• Toolbox Talks & Safety Meetings: Provide Foremen with relevant safety topics, participate in toolbox/tailgate meetings, evaluate meeting effectiveness, and verify attendance and documentation.
• Training & Orientation: Conduct, coordinate, and document required employee orientations and applicable training such as Hazard Communication, PPE, heavy equipment awareness, spotter requirements, Stop Work Authority, JSA/JHA, emergency procedures, and client-specific requirements.
• PPE Compliance: Verify required PPE is available, appropriate for the hazard, maintained in suitable condition, and properly used. Maintain and replenish project PPE inventory as needed.
• Behavior-Based Safety: Support Tindol Construction’s BBS program through field observations, positive coaching, near-miss reporting, hazard reporting, and tracking of safe and at-risk behaviors.
• Incident & Near-Miss Support: Promptly report incidents, injuries, property damage, environmental events, and significant near misses. Assist HSE leadership with investigations, documentation, corrective-action tracking, and lessons learned.
• Documentation & Recordkeeping: Maintain accurate safety inspections, JSAs/JHAs, training records, toolbox meetings, BBS observations, near misses, Stop Work events, PPE records, corrective actions, and client-required documentation. Upload required records into the designated company electronic filing system.
• Emergency Preparedness: Understand project emergency procedures, muster locations, emergency contacts, first-aid resources, fire protection equipment, and participate in emergency drills.
• Drug & Alcohol Program Support: Assist with project drug and alcohol program administration, required screening documentation, chain-of-custody records, and confidentiality requirements.
