- Administer and coordinate drug testing programs (pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion)
- Maintain accurate documentation and reporting for safety, quality, traffic control, and 811 activities
- Exercise stop-work authority when conditions are unsafe
This role is cross-trained and multidisciplinary, designed to grow with the company and ensure continuity of safety operations.
