ABOUT WSP
WSP is one of the world's leading engineering and professional services consulting firms. We design and deliver lasting solutions for the property & buildings, transportation & infrastructure, environment, industry, resources, and energy sectors. With over 80,000 talented professionals globally, we are dedicated to our local communities and propelled by international brainpower.
POSITION OVERVIEW
WSP is seeking a seasoned Construction Safety Representative (CSR) to provide comprehensive, field-level safety oversight during the construction of major mining infrastructure (including processing plants, shafts, tailings facilities, and haul roads).
In this role, you will act as the vital "eyes and ears" of the project owner on-site. You will monitor safety compliance, validate contractor hazard analyses, manage incident risk vectors, and ensure absolute adherence to regulatory standards (MSHA and OSHA). If you are a courageous safety leader who thrives in heavy industrial environments and can stand firm against production pressures to protect workers, we want you on our team.
Your Impact
1. Contractor Oversight & Safety Auditing
- Plan Review: Audit and validate contractor health and safety management plans, Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs), and high-risk work packages.
- Field Inspections: Conduct rigorous daily field inspections across heavy civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical mining construction zones. Metric Tracking: Monitor contractor lagging indicators (e.g., TRIR, Lost-Time Injury Rates) alongside proactive leading indicators (e.g., near-miss reporting and safety training efficacy).
2. Risk Management & Regulatory Compliance
- Regulatory Adherence: Ensure all active construction blocks strictly abide by federal (MSHA/OSHA), state, and specialized mining safety regulations.
- High-Risk Oversight: Directly oversee critical, high-risk mining construction activities, including heavy lifting, deep excavations, explosives handling, and confined space entries. Risk Elevation: Maintain a dedicated project risk register, elevating critical, unmitigated field risks directly to the asset owner's home office.
3. Leadership, Incident Resolution & Culture
- Culture Building: Model and foster an active, interdependent culture of safety that treats incident prevention as a primary project value rather than a bureaucratic checklist.
- Incident Investigation: Lead independent investigations into significant near-misses or site accidents, verifying root causes and enforcing corrective action plans. Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitate and participate in contractor safety alignment meetings, daily toolboxes, and joint project leadership safety forums.
Who You Are
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
- Industrial EHS: 7–10+ years of dedicated Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) experience on large-scale industrial or heavy civil projects.
- Mining Focus: Minimum 3–5 years working specifically on surface or underground mining construction sites.
- Methodology Expertise: Deep understanding of mining infrastructure construction methods (e.g., shaft sinking, processing facilities, structural steel assembly). Framework Proficiency: Expert proficiency tracking structural metrics like TRIR, DART, and JSA compliance frameworks.
SKILLS & ATTRIBUTES
- Conflict Resolution: Strong conflict resolution skills with the backbone to stand firm against contractor production pressures when safety is compromised.
- Emotional Resilience: High emotional intelligence and resilience to balance and influence the various work mentalities found in heavy labor environments.
- Physical & Environmental Fit: Capability to walk, climb, and audit extensive industrial sites in extreme West Texas weather conditions. Travel: Willingness to work in remote environments under a fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) or rotation-based schedule.
EDUCATION & CREDENTIALS
- Certifications: MSHA Certification (Current) and OSHA 30/SST required.
- Professional Designations: CSP (Certified Safety Professional) or CRSP (Canadian Registered Safety Professional) highly preferred.
- Degree: Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Mining Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field preferred (equivalent field experience will be considered). CMSP – Certified Mine Safety Professional.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive compensation packages and project-based incentives.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and wellness benefits.
- Group retirement savings plans.
- Outstanding opportunities for professional growth and continuous learning within a global network.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in construction representative jobs.
- Three or more years of field experience on commercial or infrastructure construction projects
- Proficiency with construction management software such as Procore or Bluebeam
- OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification or ability to obtain it
- Strong understanding of construction drawings, specifications, and contract documents
- Experience reviewing and processing submittals, RFIs, and change order documentation

Tips for Your Construction Representative Job Search
Tailor your resume to field documentation
Construction representative roles require demonstrating your ability to manage RFIs, submittals, and daily field reports. List specific documentation systems you've used and name the project types and contract values you've overseen, not just job duties.
Highlight relevant certifications on applications
Certifications like OSHA 30, ACI, or NICET carry real weight in construction representative screening. List them near the top of your resume and confirm they're current, since expired certifications can disqualify you at the initial review stage.
Target openings by delivery method
Construction representative roles differ significantly depending on whether the project uses design-bid-build, design-build, or CM-at-risk delivery. Search by delivery method in job descriptions to find roles that match your actual field experience and avoid a poor fit interview.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists construction representative openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for field scenario interview questions
Interviewers for construction representative positions often ask how you've handled contractor noncompliance, changed conditions, or punch list disputes. Prepare two or three specific examples from past projects with clear outcomes, not general descriptions of your responsibilities.
Negotiate schedule flexibility before accepting an offer
Construction representative roles often require on-site presence during critical phases that don't follow a standard calendar. Clarify travel expectations, project rotation frequency, and per diem policies before accepting, since these terms vary widely across employers and project types.
Construction Representative Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most construction representatives?
The companies hiring the most construction representatives right now include Think Power Solutions, Planate Management, and Techserv Engineering and Consulting, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Owner's representative firms, public agencies, and large general contractors tend to post the highest volume of these roles.
How many construction representative jobs are remote?
About 32% of construction representative openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the inherently site-based nature of most field roles. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements are preconstruction coordination, document control, and owner's representative positions during planning phases rather than active construction.
How do you become a construction representative?
Start by earning a degree in construction management, civil engineering, or architecture, or build equivalent experience through trades or field technician work. Progress into roles like project engineer or field inspector to develop hands-on documentation skills. Earning an OSHA certification and gaining experience with contract administration positions you well for construction representative openings.
Can you get hired as a construction representative with little experience?
Entry-level construction representative roles do exist, particularly with public agencies and owner's representative firms that hire candidates with internship or field technician backgrounds. Emphasize any direct site exposure, proficiency with construction documentation software, and familiarity with drawing interpretation. Smaller projects and municipal infrastructure roles are often more accessible starting points than large commercial programs.
What does the construction representative interview process look like?
Most construction representative interviews include an initial phone screen focused on project experience and documentation background, followed by a technical interview with scenario-based questions about contractor management, RFI handling, and site conflicts. Some employers include a practical exercise reviewing drawings or mock submittals. Final rounds often involve meeting project directors or the client team you'd represent on site.
Where can I find and apply to construction representative jobs?
You can find and apply to construction representative jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find roles that match your experience and project background, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
