Position Overview
Are you the safety trainer people actually remember? You know the type: the instructor who makes a forklift class or an OSHA 30 session click, who earns respect on the job site and in the classroom, and whose lessons crews still remember months later. If that’s you, we want you on our team.
As our Safety Trainer, you’ll be the go-to safety educator for Beitzel Corporation, Pillar Innovations, and our affiliated companies. This isn’t a desk job reading slides. You’ll be out where the work happens, teaching hands-on and in the classroom at our division offices, shops, and job sites. You’ll lead OSHA 10-Hour and 30-Hour Outreach, DOT driver safety, forklift operation, signal person and rigging, and NFPA 70E electrical safety. Every class you teach helps someone recognize a hazard, control it, and go home safe to their family. Few roles let you see your impact that clearly.
We’re looking for an engaging, down-to-earth instructor who can connect with everyone from first-day hires to 30-year tradespeople. You’ll need a current OSHA Outreach Training Program Authorized Trainer card and a strong command of OSHA Construction and General Industry regulations, along with a working knowledge of DOT, MSHA, and the consensus standards behind our work. Classes are built around our crews’ schedules, so you’ll sometimes teach early mornings, evenings, or weekends, with occasional overnight travel. In return, you’ll get variety, the freedom to make the training your own, and the choice of a full-time or part-time schedule.
