At Alpha Inc., we don't believe safety is a department.
We believe it's a mindset.
It's the standard that protects our people, strengthens our teams, earns our clients' trust, and ensures every employee goes home safely at the end of every day.
We're looking for a Safety Specialist who doesn't simply enforce compliance—they build a culture where safety becomes second nature.
If you're equally comfortable walking an active jobsite, leading engaging training, investigating incidents, coaching supervisors, speaking with OSHA representatives, and developing programs that make an entire company safer, keep reading.

Lead with Heart
Safety starts with caring for people. We treat every employee with dignity, respect, and genuine concern.
Strength in Unity

Alpha Mentality
We pursue excellence relentlessly. We don't settle for "good enough"—especially when it comes to protecting our people.
