Role: Safety Director - East Region
Location: Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta, or Raleigh (candidate must be based out of one of Alpha's East Region offices)
Compensation: $90,000-$105,000 base + company vehicle, fuel card, and travel covered
Immediate Need
Alpha Insulation and Waterproofing has been a trusted Division 7 specialty contractor since 1982, when founder Vic Verma started the company in San Antonio, Texas. Over four decades, Alpha has grown into a national player across insulation, waterproofing, fireproofing, firestopping, and restoration - with a portfolio that includes Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, one of the most recognizable commercial builds in the country. The company runs on a family-oriented, safety-first culture and now operates 14+ regional offices, all while keeping the hands-on, get-it-done reputation that's defined it since day one.
Alpha is splitting its East Region into two territories to give branches better, more consistent safety coverage. This newly created role covers eight branches - Atlanta, Tampa, Orlando, Nashville, Raleigh, Charlotte, Baltimore, and Cincinnati - and reports directly to the Corporate Safety Director in Columbus, Ohio. You'll be the boots-on-the-ground safety authority across this region: on jobsites doing audits and training, not sitting behind a desk.
What You'll Be Doing
- Travel to jobsites across the region (roughly 2 weeks a month, driving and flying) to run safety audits, inspections, and OSHA-standard training
- Own Site Specific Safety Plan compliance at the branch level and drive early, safe return-to-work programs for injured employees
- Lead accident and incident investigations, work claims with workers' comp administrators and legal counsel, and manage strategies to reduce claim costs and improve the experience modifier
- Advise Project Managers and Superintendents on jobsite hazards, safe equipment operation, and material handling
- Vet subcontractor safety programs and pre-qualification documentation alongside Operations Managers
- Serve as the corporate point of contact for OSHA and other regulatory bodies
- Train staff at every level on OSHA-required topics - fire prevention, machine guarding, hazardous materials
- Keep the Corporate Safety Director and Operations Managers current on regulatory changes and field issues
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of environmental health and safety experience in commercial construction - currently doing this job at a commercial GC or a mid-size/large subcontractor (no residential background)
- Bachelor's degree in industrial hygiene, safety management, environmental science, occupational health, or related field
- CSP or CHST certification, and OSHA 500 trainer status required
- Deep working knowledge of OSHA and EPA standards and workers' comp regulations
- Comfortable in Procore and Microsoft Office
- Comfortable on jobsites - elevators, boom lifts, and everything in between
- A strong-willed, high-energy presence who drives safety home hard but professionally; someone polished enough to write a clean report and self-sufficient enough not to need hand-holding
- Bilingual (Spanish) a plus, not required
Compensation & Benefits
- $90,000-$105,000 base salary
- 401(k), medical, dental, and vision
- PTO
- Company vehicle with fuel card and insurance - no cost to you, and you can drive it home
- Company card for travel - no out-of-pocket expenses
- Corporate travel booking support via Navan
Why This Role
- True regional authority with no direct reports to manage - your focus stays on the field, not admin
- A newly created position built specifically to give this region better, more consistent safety coverage
- Real autonomy in how you plan your travel and coordinate with job managers week to week
- A seat at the table with leadership - direct line to the Corporate Safety Director and company president
- The chance to set the tone for safety culture at a company with a 40+ year track record on major commercial builds
