San Antonio Excavating Safety Field Supervisor
Seeking an Excavating Safety Field Supervisor for the San Antonio area. This is not a desk only safety role. If you’ve spent the last few years on active excavation job sites and you know what safety looks like in the field, this role is worth your time. A well‑established excavation and site‑work contractor is seeking a hands‑on Safety Specialist with 2‑5 years of direct excavation experience who can help keep crews safe without slowing production.
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
Field-focused role with real influence
Work directly with Superintendents and Foremen
Play a key role in strengthening a safety‑first excavation culture
Be respected as a partner, not just a compliance checker
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Conduct jobsite safety inspections on active excavation and utility projects
Identify hazards related to trenching, shoring, underground utilities, and heavy equipment
Ensure compliance with OSHA excavation and trenching standards
Lead toolbox talks and safety meetings crews actually engage with
Investigate incidents and near‑misses; implement corrective actions
Partner with field leadership to balance safety and productivity
Support safety training, documentation, and continuous improvement
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR (NON‑NEGOTIABLE)
2‑5 years of safety experience specifically in excavation / heavy civil construction
Strong working knowledge of:
Trenching & excavation safety
Heavy equipment operations
Comfortable being on job sites daily
Clear, confident communicator with field crews and leadership
OSHA 30 (or higher) strongly preferred
This role requires real excavation experience. General safety or manufacturing backgrounds without excavation exposure will not be a fit.
RELOCATION Not local? No problem. If you bring 2‑5 years of hands‑on excavation safety experience, we’re open to discussing relocation for the right candidate.
