Storm-Field Safety Manager II

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Storm Field Safety Manager II to support contractors and utilities during storm response by providing on-site safety oversight, planning support, and real-time guidance to help crews safely execute emergency restoration work. Serving in an on-call capacity, the role requires the ability to mobilize quickly and travel to storm-affected areas for deployments ranging from a few days to several weeks. Storm Field Safety Managers do not perform physical construction work; instead, they assist with job planning, hazard identification, compliance with utility and regulatory safety requirements, and effective communication between crews and supervision. The position plays a critical role in promoting safe work practices, managing risk during extended hours and dynamic conditions, and reinforcing a strong safety culture throughout the storm restoration effort.

Candidate must be located near work sites in the northeastern region of the United States (New York, Maine, Massachusetts, etc.)

- 12-16 Hour Days

- Paid Mobilization and Demobilization

- Daily Meal Allowance Provided

- Housing Provided

Responsibilities

- Serve as a dedicated field safety liaison supporting contractor crews and utility representatives during storm restoration activities

- Provide pre-task and daily safety planning support, including job briefings, tailboards, and hazard identification for storm-related work

- Assist crews in identifying, evaluating, and mitigating hazards associated with emergency restoration, damaged infrastructure, changing weather, and extended work hours

- Verify compliance with utility safety standards, contractor safety programs, OSHA regulations, and storm-response requirements

- Observe field activities and provide real-time coaching and corrective guidance to promote safe work practices without directing or performing the work

- Support implementation of energized work controls, switching procedures, grounding practices, and minimum approach distances as applicable

- Assist with fatigue management, work-rest cycles, and situational awareness during extended shifts and high-pressure restoration efforts

- Facilitate communication between crews, contractors, and utility supervision regarding safety concerns, changing site conditions, or near-miss events

- Document safety observations, near misses, and incidents; support incident reporting and root-cause review as required by the utility or contractor

- Verify proper use of PPE, tools, equipment, and vehicles in accordance with approved safety requirements

- Support onboarding and storm-specific safety orientations for incoming crews and mutual-assistance resources

- Promote a strong safety culture during storm response while maintaining respect for contractor authority and work methods

- Escalate unsafe conditions or behaviors to appropriate supervision when immediate corrective action is required

- Maintain accurate daily safety logs and field reports for utility or client review

Requirements

- No formal education requirements. This role is best suited for individuals seeking part-time, on-call work who bring strong field experience, situational awareness, and the right mindset rather than academic credentials.

- Safety certifications (such as CUSP or equivalent) are a plus but not required.

- Demonstrated background in overhead and/or underground electric line work, either as a journeyman/apprentice lineman or in a dedicated safety role supporting line crews.

- Hands-on experience with distribution and transmission systems is required; familiarity with storm restoration environments and emergency response is strongly preferred.

- Proven ability to be present in the field, actively engaging with crews and site leadership, this is not a role for individuals who prefer to remain in a truck or office.

- Strong working knowledge of job planning, hazard identification, energized work controls, and safe work practices associated with line construction and restoration activities.

- Ability to think forward-looking and proactively, assisting crews and leadership in planning work safely under dynamic and rapidly changing conditions.

- Demonstrated ability to work effectively as part of a team environment, communicating clearly, respectfully, and constructively with craft personnel, supervision, and utility representatives.

- Comfortable providing real-time safety guidance and coaching in the field while respecting contractor authority and work methods.
