Safety (EHS Specialist)

Boldly Challenge What’s Possible for a Sustainable World

LiquidStack builds and services the liquid-cooling systems that power the next generation of AI and high-performance computing. As we scale across multiple Texas facilities, we’re looking for a Safety Coordinator who owns safety for all of our locations—keeping our people protected, our sites compliant, and our culture grounded in respect and accountability.

This is a hands-on specialist role at a fast-moving startup. You’ll be the company’s go-to safety expert across all sites, and you’ll partner closely to support our physical security program as we grow.

Position Summary

The Safety Coordinator is the company-wide owner of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) across all LiquidStack locations—our two Carrollton facilities and our upcoming Fort Worth site—as well as field-service operations. You will develop, implement, and monitor safety programs that prevent injuries, ensure OSHA and regulatory compliance, and build a proactive safety culture across the organization.

This role combines hands-on floor presence with program ownership. You’ll conduct inspections and training, investigate incidents, maintain records and metrics, and serve as a key support to the company’s physical security program, ensuring our people, visitors, and assets are protected at every location.
