EHS Division Lead (DFW)

About the role

You’ll integrate safety into the day-to-day operation of our DFW projects — building and maintaining the processes and procedures that prevent injuries, keep us compliant with the law and company policy, and minimize the environmental impact of our operations. This is a hands-on, proactive role for someone who solves safety challenges in the field, not from behind a desk.

• Safety IS the culture here, not a checkbox. It’s the first letter of our values and the last word of our mission. You won’t fight for a seat at the table — this role is the table.
• Boots on the ground, ear of leadership. You’ll partner directly with project managers, superintendents, and field crews — with real standing to act when something isn’t right.
• Dual AISC certification. Certified Fabricator AND Advanced Certified Erector since 1991 — disciplined shop and field operations worth protecting.
• People-first, for real. Free, confidential mental-health support (Nivati EAP) for you and your family, Blue Points wellness rewards, pet insurance, a 401(k) match, and the Craig Cobb College Scholarship.
• Room to rise. Divisions across Texas, leadership training, Udemy learning, and AISC membership for every Patriot employee.

Must-haves

• 8+ years in EH&S roles within manufacturing, industrial, or high-growth environments
• Working knowledge of OSHA standards and regulations for the trades you’ll oversee
• Strong communication and listening skills — able to take feedback from the crew’s perspective without passing judgment
• Excellent recordkeeping, including controlled documentation and change management
• Comfortable accessing elevated work via ladders or scaffolding to evaluate conditions
• A hands-on, proactive approach, with demonstrated initiative, identifying future risks and implementing countermeasures

Nice-to-haves

• Safety certifications such as CHST, CSP, or OSHA 500/510 (authorized trainer)
• Experience in structural steel fabrication and erection, specifically
• Bilingual English/Spanish — a real advantage for field training across DFW
