  • Enforce controls for PPE, excavation, scaffolding, fall protection, hazardous energy, confined spaces, lifting, electrical work, chemical/physical/biological hazards, and emergency response.
  • Participate in preparatory and initial QC meetings and integrate safety controls with upcoming work.
  • Maintain OSHA records, deficiency tracking, training records, permits, inspection logs, and daily safety reports attached to CQC reports.

  • CSP, CHST, ASP, CIH, or STS certification.
  • EM 385-1-1, medium-voltage electrical, crane/rigging, fuel-system, BESS, and federal construction experience.
  • Bilingual English/Spanish.

Field, Travel and Employment Conditions

  • This is a contingent opportunity dependent on contract award/NTP, project funding, final staffing authorization, Government acceptance when required, and successful installation-access processing.
  • When on site, work may involve tropical heat and humidity, rain, uneven terrain, stairs/ladders, construction noise, required PPE, and extended, weekend, outage, emergency, or alternate-shift hours.
  • Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States, follow drug-free workplace and conduct requirements, and protect FCI/CUI using only authorized systems and procedures.
  • ERP encourages applications from qualified Native American, Puerto Rican, veteran, military-spouse, disabled, and local candidates. ERP provides equal employment opportunity consistent with applicable law.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
