Role Description:
We are seeking a proactive, technically fluent Project Manager to own coordination and execution across two complementary workstreams:
systems safety and architectural decision follow-through
In the safety workstream, you will partner with the Systems Safety Lead to surface risks, clarify cross-system dependencies, engage missing stakeholders, and drive actions and decisions to closure
science-lab readiness and operations.
In the lab workstream, you will translate evolving research needs into practical plans that keep flexible spaces ready for physical testing and data collection
This single role combines curiosity and ownership in ambiguous technical discussions with disciplined, hands-on project execution.
Responsibilities: Systems Safety & Architectural Coordination
- Serve as the program partner to the Systems Safety Lead, translating open safety and system-design questions into coordinated actions, owners, and follow-up commitments
- Maintain consistent visibility into risks using the team’s established risk-capture mechanisms, ensuring that important architectural questions receive attention alongside urgent delivery tasks
- Track dependencies across perception, sensing, hardware, and software; bring the implications of proposed architecture changes to the appropriate stakeholders and decision-makers
- Proactively identify missing stakeholders and information, convene the right contributors, and help develop collaborative proposals that address safety requirements and implementation options
- Drive unresolved questions to closure through clear decision requests, documented outcomes, action tracking, and timely escalation of blockers
- Coordinate safety-related work across Boston and Pasadena, keeping cross-site dependencies and commitments visible
Responsibilities: Science Lab Readiness & Operations
- Coordinate science-lab setup and ongoing reconfiguration so spaces support changing physical testing and data-collection needs
- Partner with science leads to capture requirements, challenge unclear assumptions, and distinguish minimum viable requirements from desirable enhancements
- Maintain a detailed rolling two- to four-week readiness plan covering space configurations, equipment, material storage for training and test sets, networking, deliveries, and installation dependencies; adapt the plan as needs change
- Engage facilities, sourcing, construction, networking, and other specialists to answer open questions and deliver the required infrastructure and support
- Coordinate equipment and rigging readiness with qualified specialists, including fit and access checks and installation scheduling that minimizes disruption to other lab activities
- Track orders, supplier commitments, missing parts, and delivery milestones; follow up proactively, escalate risks early, and coordinate recovery actions before avoidable delays block research
- Communicate lab readiness, upcoming changes, outstanding decisions, and blockers so science teams understand what will be available and when
Integrated Planning & Prioritization
Maintain a coordinated view of both workstreams, with clear priorities, owners, dependencies, and next steps. Pair near-term lab execution planning with a recurring review of safety risks and architectural decisions so immediate operational demands do not displace longer-term system needs. Make competing commitments and capacity constraints visible to project leadership, and obtain prioritization decisions when both workstreams require attention. Provide concise status updates that distinguish actions you can drive directly from decisions or specialist input needed from others.
Qualifications & Working Style
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field
- Able to work on site integrated with a client team in either North Reading or Wilmington, MA
- Experience managing cross-functional technical projects with interdependent workstreams, changing requirements, and responsibility for driving delivery
- Technical comfort with sensing, hardware, software, and system design sufficient to follow architectural discussions, recognize cross-system impacts, and ask effective questions; deep expertise in every discipline is not required
- Ability to understand the purpose of a research activity and translate it into practical space, equipment, storage, networking, and scheduling needs
- Strong risk, issue, dependency, procurement, and action-management skills, with persistent follow-through and timely escalation
- Ability to turn ambiguity into a working plan, identify missing information and stakeholders, and develop proposals collaboratively rather than waiting for detailed direction
- Clear communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to build accountability across technical teams, operational partners, and suppliers without direct authority
- A curious, high-ownership approach and strong bias for action, balanced with judgment about when specialist expertise or leadership decisions are needed
- Ability to balance immediate execution demands with sustained attention to important risks and decisions
Scope & Working Relationships
You will work closely with project leadership, the Systems Safety Lead, science leads, technical contributors in Boston and Pasadena, and facilities, sourcing, construction, networking, and supplier partners. You own coordination, planning, risk visibility, and follow-through across both workstreams—not technical safety approval or architectural decision authority. Science leads remain responsible for staffing test activities, including teleoperators and data collectors. Facilities and construction specialists retain their domain expertise, while you ensure their input and work are coordinated. The existing test and verification and validation (V&V) TPM retains ownership of that team’s lab planning; your lab scope supports the science team’s flexible, frequently reconfigured environment.
What Success Looks Like
- Safety risks and architectural dependencies are surfaced consistently, reach the right decision-makers, and result in documented decisions and completed follow-up actions
- Science teams have ready, adaptable lab spaces, with the next two to four weeks of requirements and dependencies understood and actively managed
- Supplier, installation, and infrastructure risks are addressed early, minimizing avoidable interruptions from missing materials or unprepared space
- Both workstreams retain clear ownership and momentum, with priority conflicts escalated before they become unresolved commitments or delivery blockers

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in project safety manager jobs.
- OSHA 30-hour construction or general industry certification required
- 3 to 7 years of field safety experience on active project sites
- Proficiency conducting job hazard analyses and safety audits
- CSP, CHST, or equivalent professional safety certification preferred
- Experience with incident investigation and root cause analysis methods
- Bachelor's degree in occupational health, safety management, or a related field
Tips for Your Project Safety Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume to incident metrics
Project safety managers are hired on outcomes, so quantify yours: recordable incident rates reduced, near-miss investigations completed, or days without a lost-time incident. Recruiters scan for these figures in the first few lines of your resume.
List every active certification separately
OSHA 30, CHST, CSP, COSS, and First Aid credentials each belong as a distinct line item, not buried in a skills block. Many applicant tracking systems filter by exact certification names, and missing even one can knock you out before a human reads your resume.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists project safety manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by industry hazard profile
Your experience with confined space entry or fall protection in construction does not automatically transfer on paper to process safety in petrochemicals. Search for roles where the hazard categories in the posting match your documented fieldwork, not just your job title.
Prepare a job hazard analysis you led
Interviewers for project safety manager roles routinely ask you to walk through a JHA you owned from start to finish. Have one ready that shows how you identified the hazard, assigned controls, and measured whether the control worked.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate pay
Before accepting an offer, clarify whether the role owns safety program development or only enforces an existing one, and whether you have authority to stop work. These scope questions affect your day-to-day authority more than title or compensation.
Project Safety Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most project safety managers?
The most active employers for project safety managers right now are Turner Construction Company, Siemens, and Lowe's Home Improvement, and the most openings are in Texas, California, and Pennsylvania, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Construction, energy, and industrial contractors tend to post the highest volume of openings.
How many project safety manager jobs are remote?
About 47% of project safety manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than most professional roles because active site oversight is a core function. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote flexibility include corporate safety program development, compliance documentation, and training design rather than field-facing project roles.
How do you become a project safety manager?
Start by earning an OSHA 30-hour certification and gaining field experience as a safety technician or coordinator on construction or industrial sites. Build toward a professional credential such as the CSP or CHST, which most project safety manager postings list as preferred or required. A bachelor's degree in occupational health, safety science, or environmental health strengthens your candidacy for roles at larger contractors and owner-operators.
How do you get hired as a project safety manager with limited experience?
Focus on roles titled safety coordinator or EHS technician that sit one level below project safety manager, then build a documented record of leading toolbox talks, completing incident investigations, and conducting site inspections. Earning your OSHA 30 and completing the BCSP's Associate Safety Professional exam signals readiness to move up. Construction subcontractors and staffing-backed project roles tend to be more open to candidates early in their safety careers.
What does the project safety manager interview process look like?
Most hiring processes include a phone screen focused on certifications and site experience, a technical interview where you walk through a past incident investigation or JHA, and a final round with a site superintendent or operations director. Some employers add a field walkthrough where you identify hazards on an active site in real time. References from past project owners or general contractors carry significant weight at the offer stage.
Where can I find and apply to project safety manager jobs?
You can find and apply to project safety manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your certifications, industry background, and preferred location, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
