ICON builds robotic systems for multi-story construction and has commercially launched Titan, its next-generation robotic construction system. The company has raised $550M+ from top-tier VCs and is executing a successful Series D with 300% revenue growth in 2026. Through ICON Prime, the company holds $360M+ in government contracts across the Army, Air Force, DARPA, and NASA, including a $62.8M Army production contract for 3D-printed barracks at Fort Bliss.
ICON is seeking a Senior Safety Partner to lead field and project-level safety across a portfolio spanning residential, commercial, and military construction projects, including work on military installations. This role requires autonomous operation as a strategic advisor to project leadership, self-direction across complex environments, and building safety programs that are both rigorous and practical.
Key Responsibilities:
Partnership: Serve as dedicated safety partner and first point of contact to ICON's construction business unit, advising leadership and escalating to the EHS Manager as needed. Represent the EHS function in project planning and pre-deployment meetings.
Program & APP Development: Establish business unit and project-specific safety programs tailored to site conditions, scope, and workforce. Drive development and implementation of Accident Prevention Plans (APPs) for MILCON projects on military installations in compliance with EM 385-1-1. Develop and maintain commercial APPs aligned with federal, state, and local regulations. Identify regulatory gaps and drive corrective action proactively.
Field Operations & Compliance: Conduct regular site inspections across civil and vertical construction operations (residential, commercial, military), identifying hazardous conditions and driving abatement to closure. Monitor subcontractor safety program compliance. Lead site-specific new hire safety orientations and ensure ongoing training is documented. Attend and contribute to safety committee meetings.
Incident Management: Lead field-level incident investigations, document findings, determine root cause, and develop corrective actions. Support injured workers by coordinating with employees, managers, and HR for timely return-to-work outcomes. Maintain complete, audit-ready incident records.
Trend Analysis & Reporting: Utilize ICON's safety management systems to track findings and closure status. Perform trend analysis across projects to surface systemic issues and recommend data-backed interventions. Prepare safety performance summaries for leadership.
Working Environment: Fieldwork is the core of this role with regular time on active construction sites. Military construction work is conducted on U.S. military installations and requires ability to pass applicable background and access requirements. Expect up to 50% travel between project sites.
