Safety Manager - San Francisco - Sequence Systems

Description

Construction Safety Manager - Heavy Civil Construction & Environmental Remediation

Sequence has been exclusively retained to help build out the project leadership team for a $700M multi-year heavy civil construction and environmental remediation program currently underway in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our client serves as the Prime Contractor on what is widely regarded as one of the most significant remediation, construction, and infrastructure efforts of its kind in the state. The program will span approximately seven years of active construction and environmental work, with an additional two-year initiative, involving large-scale soil, groundwater, and sediment remediation combined with complex construction and infrastructure operations.

As part of this retained search practice building effort, we are specifically seeking a Construction Safety Manager within the team to lead safety operations at the site and help support the continued buildout of the project.

For more than 40 years, the organization has built its reputation on delivering complex remediation projects while maintaining a safety-first culture where the well-being of employees, contractors, and project partners comes before everything else. Safety is not treated as an administrative function but as a core part of how projects are planned, executed, and managed in the field.

The Role

The Safety Manager will operate as an integral member of the construction management team and will oversee the field health and safety program across active remediation and construction activities.

Responsibilities will include:

• Preparing and implementing Site-Specific Health & Safety Plans and Job Hazard Analyses
• Leading safety orientation programs for project personnel and subcontractors
• Managing field safety programs during environmental remediation operations
• Overseeing subcontractor safety performance and field compliance
• Leading safety observation initiatives and analyzing safety performance data
• Conducting incident investigations and root cause analysis when necessary

This position works directly alongside project leadership, field supervisors, and contractors to ensure safety programs are implemented effectively across all phases of construction and remediation work.

Ideal Background

We are seeking a safety professional who is comfortable operating in active construction environments and engaging directly with field teams. The successful candidate will be someone who can build credibility and trust with field crews while reinforcing strong safety discipline across the project.

Ideal candidates will bring experience in:

• Construction safety programs within heavy civil, infrastructure, or remediation projects
• OSHA construction safety standards and field compliance
• Environmental remediation operations and 40-Hour OSHA HAZWOPER certification
• Leading safety programs across subcontractor teams
• Strong communication skills and collaborative field leadership

Certifications such as ASP, CSP, or other BCSP credentials are beneficial but not required.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• $700M multi-year program with long-term project stability
• One of the most high-profile remediation and construction programs currently underway in California (career defining project with incredible complexity)
• Opportunity to work alongside a highly experienced construction and remediation leadership team
• A company culture where safety is truly treated as the first priority

A company culture where safety is truly treated as a first priority.

Of note, on this project safety is the number one priority. Our client emphasizes that operations must always be conducted in a manner that protects people, property, communities, and the environment. This is not treated as lip service or simply a compliance exercise. Safety is viewed as a critical element of successful project execution, with the belief that all injuries and occupational illnesses can be prevented through proper planning, training, and strong field leadership.

So, this role is best suited for a safety professional who believes the most effective safety programs are built in the field alongside the crews performing the work—someone who can earn credibility with field teams while reinforcing a culture where safety is owned by the entire project team.

As part of this commitment, our client operates within a broader culture centered around accountability, leadership development, and professional growth. The organization emphasizes core values of Ability, Excellence, Truth, and a "Can Do" mindset, and believes strongly that its people are its most important asset. Many employees have been with the organization for years and have grown alongside the company as it has expanded. Leadership encourages collaboration, mutual respect, and the open exchange of ideas to maintain a vibrant and engaged workforce.

This philosophy carries through to compensation and rewards for strong performance. In addition to competitive base compensation and performance incentives, the company offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, insurance programs, PTO, paid holidays, and a 401(k) with company matching. Housing support may also be available during active on-site construction periods.
