ThermalWorks has an exciting opportunity for someone passionate about sustainability and eager to be part of an innovative company that’s on a journey to transform the world’s infrastructure.
We are seeking a Safety Specialist to join the ThermalWorks team, working directly with the Environmental Manager, Field Service Supervisors, Lead Technicians, General Contractor, Safety Representatives, and the Customer Facility Operations teams, and focusing on administering the permit, training, inspection, and recordkeeping systems that the program requires. Audits compliance in the field and serves as ThermalWorks' point of contact for host site safety representatives, general contractors, and regulatory inspectors.
Key Responsibilities
Include but are not limited to:
Program administration
- Maintain the Field Service Safety Program, Operations Procedure and SSSP Template as controlled documents, including the annual review and revision control.
- Verify regulatory citations and penalty figures at each review so that no employee-facing document carries a stale reference.
- Track EPA and OSHA developments affecting field service scope, including AIM Act refrigerant management and NFPA 70E revisions, and brief leadership before an effective date arrives.
- Maintain equipment-specific Energy Control Procedures and the ThermalWorks safety forms package.
Permit and pre-task review
- Review energized electrical work permits for completeness before work proceeds, including de-energizing justification, arc flash and shock risk assessment, PPE determination and job briefing sign-off.
- Review confined space entry permits for the spaces routine to ThermalWorks scope, including atmospheric testing, continuous monitoring, attendant assignment and rescue provisions.
- Confirm that two-person requirements for energized testing are staffed before work is scheduled, and that no task requiring an attendant is assigned to a lone worker.
- Review Pre-Task Plans for energized, confined space, elevated and refrigerant work, and confirm the competent person designation is documented.
- Complete and submit the site-specific safety plan to the general contractor before ThermalWorks begins work on a construction project.
Field auditing and inspection
- Conduct documented inspections of ThermalWorks work areas and equipment, at minimum weekly on jobs lasting longer than one week.
- Audit lockout/tagout in the field, including verification that technicians apply their own lock in addition to any host or other-contractor lock and independently verify zero energy state.
