Vice President of Safety
Chicago, IL
A long-standing and highly respected Chicago-based general contractor is seeking a Vice President of Safety to join their executive leadership team.
This is not a ceremonial title. This is a true seat at the table.
This individual will play a critical role in shaping company-wide strategy, influencing operational decisions, and driving a proactive safety culture across a diverse portfolio of complex commercial construction projects. The right leader will have both the credibility in the field and the presence in the boardroom to elevate safety from a function to a competitive advantage.
What You’ll Do:
Partner directly with executive leadership to embed safety into the core business strategy
Lead and evolve a company-wide safety program that prioritizes prevention, accountability, and continuous improvement
Influence operations at every level—from field teams to senior leadership—ensuring safety is integrated into how work gets done, not treated as a checkbox
Build, mentor, and scale a high-performing safety team
Drive consistency across projects while adapting to the unique challenges of each jobsite
Serve as a visible, trusted leader across the organization, with a strong presence in the field
What They’re Looking For:
Proven experience leading safety for a commercial general contractor or construction firm
Strong executive presence with the ability to influence and collaborate across departments
Deep understanding of construction operations and the realities of the field
A builder of culture—someone who leads from the front and earns trust through action
Experience managing safety across multiple projects and teams at scale
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
True executive-level impact with direct input into company strategy and direction
Strong backing from ownership and leadership who genuinely prioritize safety
Opportunity to shape and modernize the safety function within a growing organization
High visibility role with the ability to make a measurable, lasting impact
If you’re a safety leader who wants more than oversight—and is ready to help drive how a company operates at its core—this is worth a conversation.
