• Knowledge of contractor safety compliance systems such as Avetta, ISNetWorld, and Veriforce 

• Experience developing emergency action plans and coordinating drills with external emergency responders

How You Will Stand Out 

• You are visible in the field, and crews and contractors talk to you because they trust you. 

• You understand electrical hazard on a technical level, and arc flash and LOTO are not abstractions to you. 

• You investigate to root cause and verify that corrective actions actually hold. 

• You coach rather than police, and you can correct a behavior without losing the relationship. 

• You keep compliance documentation clean, because an inspection should never be a fire drill. 

• You build working relationships with regulators, fire departments, and local responders before you need them. 

• You communicate clearly with everyone from a new hire on their first day to a customer safety representative.
