Regional Safety Manager - Port Washington, WI

**Position Summary** Convergint is seeking a full-time, site-based Project Safety Manager to lead the Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) program for our Division 28 electronic security scope on a data center project in Port Washington, Wisconsin. Convergint is the prime security-systems subcontractor to the general contractor, delivering access control, video surveillance, intercom, alarm across multiple blocks and central utility plants. The Project Safety Manager owns the day-to-day execution of the project Safety Plan: planning work safely before it begins, identifying and controlling hazards, integrating Convergint and its subcontractors into the general contractor’s control-of-work system, and ensuring every worker has both the authority and the responsibility to stop unsafe work. **Key Duties & Responsibilities** Safety Leadership & Program Ownership • Own safety integration for the electronic security scope; provide visible, proactive safety leadership across all buildings and work areas. • Support and reinforce the customer’s Vision Zero approach and Convergint’s safety culture, prioritizing elimination, substitution, engineering and administrative controls. • Coordinate the project safety program with the Project Executive, Project Manager, General Superintendent, Superintendents, QA/QC Lead, and subcontractor leadership. • Ensure adequate safety resources, competent supervision, trained workers, correct PPE, and proper tools/equipment are in place before work proceeds. Daily Planning & Control of Work • Lead and review daily task planning — JHA / SPA / PTP / RAMS — confirming hazard identification, controls, competent-person/supervision assignments, permit interfaces, stop-work conditions, and crew briefings/signatures before work starts and after any scope change. • Integrate Convergint work into the GC control-of-work system: site access, orientation/induction, badging, daily planning, permits, DABS, four-week lookahead, Last Planner, and morning whiteboard meetings. • Confirm no task begins until the daily JHA/SPA, required permits, PPE, tools, access equipment, and supervision are verified. • Obtain and enforce compliance with permits-to-work for energized work, hot work, confined space, out-of-hours work, lifting, and other site-defined permit activities. • Coordinate with electrical, telecom, doors/hardware, millwork, fire alarm, facilities, and other trades to prevent unsafe trade stacking and blocked or congested work areas. High-Risk Activity Management • Forecast, review, approve, supervise, and document high-risk activities (HRAs) through the GC planning process. • Manage work at height: enforce the Convergint standard that any task with feet above 8 feet requires a lift unless a written exception is approved; apply ladders-last requirements; verify equipment inspection, fall protection, tool tethering/dropped-object controls, and rescue planning when fall arrest is used. • Manage MEWP / lift use: confirm trained and authorized operators, pre-use inspections, ground conditions, barricaded work zones, spotters, and tie-off/secondary-guarding requirements. • Manage electrical safety, energization, and LOTO: interface with the GC Energy Management Program; enforce written, site-specific LOTO procedures, documented isolation, zero-energy verification, lockout devices (not tags alone), and the requirement that nothing is energized, de-energized, or tested without written authorization. • Escalate exception requests (e.g., ladder use above limits) through the appropriate operations-leadership approval process before work begins. Commissioning & Testing Safety • Establish and enforce safety controls across all commissioning phases — Phase I contractor pretesting, Phase II corporate systems testing, and Phase III final commissioning / validation. • Confirm work-area access, power readiness, safe access to devices, trained technicians, lifts/operators, lighting, radios, credentials, and emergency contacts before…
