Full Job Description

Director of Safety & Compliance — Public Works General Contractor

Towaco, NJ | On-site plus active NJ job sites | Salary Range $125,000 to $165,000, plus year-end bonus and benefits

Brockwell & Carrington Contractors, Inc. (B&C) is a New Jersey-based public works general contractor seeking an experienced Director of Safety & Compliance to own and elevate our safety program across all active projects. This is a high-impact role reporting directly to the President, with full authority over how B&C plans, enforces, documents, and continuously improves site safety, and over how we build a culture that protects our people and holds our subcontractors to the same standard.

About the Role

We self-perform and manage construction across public projects throughout New Jersey. The Director of Safety & Compliance is the single point of ownership for our safety effort: in the field auditing conditions and practices, at the desk shaping policy and managing risk, and across our subcontractor base ensuring everyone participates in safety the right way, in practice and on paper. This role replaces fragmented third-party coverage with a dedicated leader who is present, proactive, and accountable, and who owns the risk and compliance functions that protect the firm's insurance experience.

Core Responsibilities

Review, analyze, amend, update, and enforce B&C's safety policies, programs, and procedures across all projects
Visit active project sites regularly to audit conditions and our field practices, and identify and mitigate safety concerns before they become incidents
Manage and confirm active, documented subcontractor participation in safety efforts, including weekly toolbox talks, Job Hazard Analyses as appropriate, orientations, and required certifications
Own incident investigation, workers' compensation claims management, and return-to-work coordination, and interface with our carrier and broker to actively manage loss experience and improve our EMR
Deliver OSHA 10/30 and site-specific safety training in-house
Maintain OSHA 300/300A recordkeeping and all safety program documentation
Manage subcontractor insurance compliance by collecting and tracking certificates of insurance, verifying additional-insured and endorsement requirements, and monitoring expirations, and maintain the subcontractor prequalification file
Monitor soil erosion, sediment, and stormwater (SESC/SWPPP) controls on active sites, consistent with Soil Conservation District requirements
Track leading and lagging safety metrics and report them directly to the President

What You Bring

10 or more years of construction health and safety experience, ideally on public, institutional, or heavy-civil projects in New Jersey
Professional safety certifications are the marker of a top candidate. We prefer candidates who hold, and will keep active, recognized safety credentials. A combination of CSP (Certified Safety Professional), CHST (Construction Health & Safety Technician), and OSHA 500 (authorized construction outreach trainer) would be considered a significant strength. Additional credentials such as STS-C, SMS, CHMM, CIH, and 40-Hour HAZWOPER are a plus.
Working knowledge of OSHA construction standards, site-specific safety planning, JHAs, incident investigation, and workers' compensation processes
Familiarity with certificate-of-insurance and subcontractor compliance administration
Willingness and ability to be in the field across northern NJ job sites regularly
Comfort working in a small, direct-communication environment without multiple management layers
Strong written communication and documentation discipline

What This Role Is Not

This is not a desk-bound compliance seat. It is a hands-on, in-the-field safety leadership role for someone who wants to own a program end to end, be present on active sites, and build culture, not administer paperwork from headquarters. Candidates looking for a purely office-based position should not apply.

Compensation and Benefits

Base salary: $125,000 to $165,000 commensurate with certifications and experience
Discretionary year-end bonus based on firm and individual performance
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield employer-paid health insurance (employee)
Dental and vision insurance available (employee-paid)
Employer paid life insurance policy
Simple IRA
Paid time off, paid holidays, bereavement leave, jury duty
Company cell phone or cell phone allowance
Mileage reimbursement at IRS standard rate for site travel
Professional development allowance, including certification maintenance and renewals

To Apply

Please submit a resume and a brief cover note describing one specific safety program, policy, or culture improvement you personally drove in a prior role, and the result. Generic cover letters will not be reviewed.

Pay: $125,000.00 - $165,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Retirement plan

Work Location: In person
