We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.
We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.
We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
You will be Fluidstack's safety authority on the ground — our owner's representative embedded in active major construction projects. That means managing GCs and EPCs directly, owning the high-risk activity review process, and protecting Fluidstack's interests across complex, concurrent construction environments that include heavy civil and data center builds.
Current assignments are in Lubbock and Abernathy, Texas. As those projects complete, you move to the next capital project. Ongoing travel is approximately 50%. You report to the HSE Director and operate with the authority to stop work, issue owner-level directives, and escalate to ownership without friction.
This is not a compliance coordination role. You are in the field, holding major contractors accountable, running HRAs, leading incident investigations, and giving leadership clear visibility into what is actually happening on site.
Own safety on the owner's side
Manage the safety interface across multi-contractor, multi-EPC project environments — concurrent scope, shared hazard zones, and multi-employer coordination.
Lead high-risk activity reviews
Own the formal High Risk Activity (HRA) review process for critical work phases: energized electrical systems, critical and engineered lifts, confined space entry, deep excavations, structural steel erection, high work, and hot work in sensitive areas.
Review and approve contractor lift plans, rigging studies, shoring designs, confined space programs, and energy control procedures on Fluidstack's behalf.
Maintain a live project risk register: open hazards, assigned controls, responsible contractor, verification status.
Manage GC and EPC safety performance
Pre-qualify GC and EPC safety programs through rigorous review of EMR history, TRIR/LTIR trends, written program quality, key personnel, and track record on comparable project types.
Track contractor safety performance throughout execution — leading indicators, near-miss rates, inspection findings, CAPA closure rates — and report trends to the HSE Director.
Verify that all contractors conduct required orientations, toolbox talks, task-specific training, and competency checks for their workforce.
Investigate incidents and manage regulatory exposure
Respond to and manage all incidents on assigned sites — near-misses, first-aids, recordables, property damage, and environmental releases — regardless of which contracted party is involved.
Maintain regulatory compliance
Working knowledge of OSHA 29 CFR 1926 (Construction), 29 CFR 1910 (General Industry), and NFPA 70E is a baseline — you apply it, you don't reference it.
Ensure site-specific environmental compliance is met: SWPPP, SPCC, waste management, and air quality requirements as applicable to each project.
Emergency preparedness
Ensure every assigned site has a current, site-specific Emergency Action Plan — evacuation, fire, medical, severe weather, utility strikes, and spill/release.
Report to the HSE Director
Weekly field observation reports, monthly safety dashboards, and post-incident summaries — on time, in writing, without prompting.
Translate field conditions into owner-level intelligence: what the risk is, what the contractor is doing, what needs to be directed, and what happens if it isn't.
Maintain audit-ready project safety documentation: inspection records, corrective action logs, HRA packages, training verification, and incident files.
Demonstrated experience managing GC and EPC safety compliance — pre-qualification, audits, corrective action, and escalation — on large, complex builds.
Bachelor's degree in Occupational Safety & Health, Construction Management, Engineering, or equivalent field experience.
Direct experience on data center, heavy civil, industrial, oil & gas, or pipeline construction — particularly in Texas.
Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity).
Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
Health, dental, and vision insurance.
Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
The base salary range for this position is $160,000 - $200,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
