Short-term, shift-based, and on-demand safety roles on NYC construction sites. We hire credentialed personnel for fire watch, flagger, watchperson, and OSHA-30 safety representative assignments.

Why this is a good first job at SSM

If you're newer to NYC construction safety, these roles put you alongside our licensed managers, where you'll see how a NYC site runs from a safety perspective and build toward higher credentials. We support staff who want to study for their SST Supervisor, OSHA-30, F-89, or DOB SSC license. And we hire from within first when those roles open.
