About This Job

Start Your Career in Safety – With Real Field Experience

Doherty Steel, Inc. is one of the leading AISC Certified steel fabrication and erection companies in the Midwest. Our 165,000 sq ft facility is located in Paola, Kansas. Doherty Steel, Inc. has been in business since 1959 and is family owned and operated.

We’re looking for a motivated, early-career safety professional who wants to grow with us. As our new Field Safety Manager, you’ll work side by side with project foremen, general contractors, and our Safety Director to build a strong safety culture on some of the most complex structural steel and precast erection projects in the Midwest.

This is a field-based role, perfect for someone who wants to get out on job sites, learn the ropes, and help keep crews safe — not sit behind a desk all day. If you’ve got a degree in safety (or are wrapping one up), and you’re ready to grow fast, we want to talk to you.


Position Summary:

The Field Safety Manager is responsible for supporting and enforcing safety policies and procedures across all active job sites. This role works closely with the Director of Safety, project foremen, and general contractor representatives to maintain a safe working environment.

Strong verbal and written communication skills
Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills
Proficient with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and basic safety documentation tools
Willingness to work outdoors in field jobsite conditions
Ability to travel frequently across Kansas and Missouri


Physical Requirements:

Able to lift up to 25 lbs
Comfortable standing, walking, and working outdoors for extended periods


Preferred Attributes:
