Safety Lead – Mechanical Construction / Fabrication
Highland Consulting Group, a national executive recruiting firm specializing in the Commercial and Industrial construction markets, has been retained to identify a strong Safety Lead for a respected contractor in the Baltimore, MD area.
This is a full-time, permanent opportunity with a company that values safety as a core part of its culture—not just a jobsite requirement. The position supports local projects, so travel is minimal, and it offers the opportunity to work alongside an experienced team of safety professionals within a stable and growing organization.
The ideal candidate will bring hands-on safety experience in mechanical construction, fabrication, or a closely related construction environment, along with a proactive approach to training, compliance, reporting, and continuous improvement.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop, update, and implement site-specific safety plans that meet project and client requirements.
- Maintain an active on-site presence to support safe work practices and ensure program compliance.
- Train field staff and subcontractors on safe construction practices, procedures, and regulatory expectations.
- Partner with project teams and clients to manage the safety program and support a strong safety culture.
- Prepare accurate daily reports for internal management and client review.
- Monitor ongoing projects, identify potential hazards, and drive corrective action when needed.
Qualifications
- Minimum of 3 years of safety experience in construction, preferably within mechanical construction, fabrication, or a similar environment.
- Experience supporting major construction projects and working closely with field teams.
- CHST certification required; OSHA 510, NFPA 70E, ASP, CSP, or USACE EM 385 experience/certifications are preferred.
- Bachelor’s degree required; safety-related degree preferred.
- Strong understanding of applicable safety regulations, documentation, reporting, and tracking systems.
- Ability to train, coach, and influence employees and subcontractors in safe work practices.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interact professionally with clients, management, and field personnel.
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities, establish timelines, and maintain organized records.
- Stable work history and a demonstrated commitment to improving safety processes and field execution.
Benefits
The company offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support employees and their families, including healthcare, 401(k), project bonuses, annual company bonuses, education and certification allowances, paid vacation, and paid holidays.

If your background aligns with this opportunity, please apply or contact me directly for a confidential conversation about the position.
