Construction Safety Specialist
ZYN Manufacturing Facility Aurora, CO
3?Month Contract | $35$45/hour + Overtime
We are hiring a hands?on Construction Safety Specialist to support the ZYN Manufacturing Facility during its largest growth phase. This is a high?visibility, field?based role focused on active engagement, real?time intervention, and injury prevention on a large commercial new?build project.
This is not a desk safety role. If you believe in "see something, do something," this is the site for you.
Project Overview
- Project: ZYN Manufacturing Facility
- Location: Aurora, CO
- Duration: ~6090 days (through end of June)
- Site Size: ~1,000 workers on site
- ~700 on day shift
- ~300 on night shift
- Safety Team: Two core safety professionals + this role added due to manpower increase
What You'll Be Doing
You will serve as a visible, field?driven safety presence, spending ~90% of your time in the field interacting directly with multiple trades.
Key responsibilities include:
- Maintain a strong on?site presence to drive a culture of safety
- Actively engage crews and reinforce site safety expectations
- Identify unsafe behaviors and conditions and stop work when necessary
- Conduct daily safety walks and field observations
- Coach trades in real time using clear, professional communication
- Support the Safety Coordinator with incident prevention and documentation
- Assist with toolbox talks and safety briefings
- Enforce OSHA standards and site?specific safety rules consistently
- Support extended and augmented shifts as project activity increases
- Be approachable, visible, and firm in safety enforcement
Required Qualifications (Must?Have)
- OSHA 30 Certification (required)
- Commercial construction safety experience on large new?build projects
- Minimum 2+ years of field?based construction safety experience
- Experience working on high?manpower sites (500+ workers)
- Strong presence in active jobsite environments with multiple trades
- Ability and confidence to stop work and redirect unsafe behavior
- Excellent communication and professional demeanor
- Willingness to work overtime and flexible schedules, including nights
Schedule & Pay
- Pay Rate: $35$45/hour (DOE)
- Overtime: Required and expected
- Shifts:
- Day Shift: 6:00 AM 3:00 PM
- Night Shift: 3:00 PM 2:00 AM
- Schedule may adjust to support peak site activity
Why This Role Stands Out
- Authority to stop work safety is fully supported on site
- High?visibility role on a major commercial project
- Short?term contract with strong hours and overtime
- Work alongside an established safety team during peak construction activity
