The role of Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) Manager at Turner Construction involves partnering closely with EH&S and project teams to enforce compliance with company policies, safety programs, and regulatory requirements on a designated construction project. This position requires a proactive leader who can develop and deliver safety training, manage risk, and cultivate a culture of safety awareness and accountability at the project level. The EH&S Manager will lead safety efforts to ensure that all workers, including subcontractors and Turner Trade employees, adhere to strict safety standards and practices on-site. Responsibilities include assessing safety practices, identifying potential hazards, implementing corrective action plans, and collaborating with project leadership to enhance performance metrics and safety outcomes.
