Regional Safety & Training Coordinator: Coach Safety, Build Trust

Austin, TX (Regional Travel Role) |  Full-Time  |  85% Travel with Overnight Stays

Some safety programs run on fear. Ours runs on trust. If you'd rather earn a crew's respect than hand out write-ups, keep reading.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas and Florida's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.

As our Regional Safety & Training Coordinator, you're the road warrior who keeps every office, every jobsite, and every crew running safely — from residential rooftops to commercial installs. You'll set the standard by showing up, not by cracking down: leading JSAs and safety meetings, coaching crews through real conversations, and making sure the right equipment, training, and habits are in place before something goes wrong, not after.

    Your Day-to-Day

    • Set the standard and lead by example — a trusted partner on-site, not an enforcer.
    • Serve as the safety and training subject matter expert for operational leadership.
    • Develop and maintain safety policies and programs that keep us compliant with local, state, and federal regulations.
    • Build and run safety training, including OSHA-mandated courses, and manage employee compliance.
    • Lead and coach proper technique for Job Safety Analysis (JSA), crew meetings, weekly safety meetings, and safety stand-downs.
    • Conduct job site observations and turn what you find into real, lasting changes.
    • Coach and mentor through tough conversations when safety issues need to be corrected.
    • Help build high-risk task Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documents.
    • Lead near-miss and incident investigations — data, interviews, findings, and follow-through.
    • Provide emergency care evaluation and first aid when needed and manage return-to-work and restricted-duty cases.
    • Own the safety equipment program — evaluation, recommendations, inventory, and issuance.
    • Keep operational and safety leaders in the loop with daily communication.
    • Lead fleet and driver safety efforts to reduce collisions and strengthen driver training.

    What You Bring

    • 2–5 years of field safety experience — solar, electrical, or roofing background preferred
    • Hands-on trade experience in electrical, roofing, solar, or HVAC is highly valued
    • OSHA 500 and OSHA 30-Hour Construction certification (required)
    • NFPA 70E (Electrical Safety in the Workplace) training certificate
    • Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety preferred
    • Valid driver's license with a clean, insurable motor vehicle record
    • Willingness to travel 85% of the time, including overnight stays
    • Expert knowledge of residential roofing, fall protection, ladder safety, and electrical safety
    • Familiarity with aerial work platforms (boom/scissor lifts) and rigging
    • Experience teaching First Aid/CPR, Defensive Driving, Fall Protection, or similar courses
    • Comfortable with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook)

    The Physical Side

    • Able to conduct inspections and carry inspection equipment
    • Comfortable with long stretches at a desk or in a vehicle, as well as climbing ladders to inspect roofs
    • Able to lift up to 25 lbs
    • Able to work in 100+ degree weather
    • Comfortable bending, stretching, squatting, and lifting
    • Comfortable with heights, roofs, and ladders

    What's In It For You

    • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
    • 100% Company-Sponsored Short-Term Disability
    • 401(k) Employer Matching
    • Weekly Pay Dates
    • 3 Weeks PTO + 3 Sick Days
    • 12 Paid Holidays + 1 Floating Holiday
    • Real upward mobility — this role is a launchpad, not a ceiling
