Safety Manager

We are seeking a highly experienced, builder-minded Safety Manager to design, implement, and scale a best-in-class, multi-state safety program that supports Frontline’s rapidly expanding field operations. This role will own the development of a dynamic and adaptable safety framework that can be consistently applied across diverse geographies, regulatory environments, and operational contexts.

Working closely with the General Counsel, Operations, Field Leadership, and regional stakeholders, this person will act as a key strategic partner—building, standardizing, and continuously improving safety programs that align with both regulatory requirements and real-world field execution. This includes owning contractor safety alignment, driving consistency across regions, overseeing and implementing Frontline's company-wide safety plan, fostering adoption across the organization, and ensuring Frontline maintains a proactive, scalable, and high-performance safety culture.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a builder role—someone who can create structure where it doesn’t yet exist, influence cross-functional stakeholders, and elevate safety into a core operational pillar as we scale nationally.
