• Act as an internal subject matter expert and executive advisor on safety matters.
• Partner with the field team of regional safety professionals, helping to drive accountability, capability, and performance.

Program Development & Execution

• Develop and continuously improve corporate safety standards, policies, training, audits, and tools.
• Ensure safety requirements are embedded into contracts, design reviews, and operational planning.
• Expand the use of leading and lagging indicators to track safety performance and drive proactive interventions.

Collaboration & Engagement

• Partner closely with the field safety team to ensure alignment between corporate safety strategy and field-level execution across construction and operational sites.
• Facilitate effective communication and coordination between corporate EHSS leadership, field safety teams, and other frontline stakeholders to ensure consistent implementation of programs, policies, and expectations.
• Serve as a key liaison with cross-functional teams—including Construction, Operations, Engineering, Legal, Security, Human Resources, and Sustainability—to embed safety principles into all phases of the data center lifecycle.
• Act as a key contributor to cross-company initiatives that intersect with safety, such as resiliency planning, business continuity, ESG disclosures, and workforce engagement strategies.
• Provide clear, confident, and proactive communication to senior leadership on emerging safety issues, risk trends, incident learnings, and opportunities for strategic improvement.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of 10–15 years of progressive experience in safety leadership, including direct oversight of multi-site or global operations.
• Prior experience in high-risk sectors such as data centers, construction, industrial manufacturing, or utilities required.
• Proven track record in developing and scaling safety programs in rapidly growing or technically complex organizations.
• Strong analytical, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
• Travel up to 25% will be required.
