Purpose of the Role

The Safety Supervisor will be responsible for implementing, monitoring, and enforcing Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) standards across Cosmic Infra’s Transmission, Distribution, and Substation EPC project sites.

This is a frontline, field-based role that requires active, daily supervision of site personnel and subcontractors to eliminate unsafe practices, prevent accidents, and safeguard personnel, property, and the environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Field Inspection & Operational Safety

• Implement company, client, and statutory HSE requirements across all active project sites.
• Conduct daily site inspections to proactively identify, record, and resolve unsafe acts and conditions.
• Exercise full authority to immediately stop any work activity that poses an imminent danger to life, equipment, or the environment.
• Ensure strict adherence to Risk Assessments, Job Safety Analyses (JSA), and Permit-to-Work (PTW) protocols prior to task execution.
• Inspect and verify the integrity of fall-protection systems, lifting tools, rigging gear, scaffolding, power tools, and specialized safety equipment.
• Maintain site safety perimeter integrity through proper barricading, hazard signage, and restricted-access zoning.

2. High-Risk Work Oversight

• Provide continuous visual monitoring during high-risk power infrastructure activities:
  • Tower erection and conductor/ground-wire stringing.
  • Working at elevated heights and on structural steelwork.
  • Heavy lifting, crane operations, and complex rigging.
  • Deep excavations, trenching, and foundation civil works.
  • Electrical equipment installation, high-voltage testing, and plant commissioning.
  • Operations in proximity to energized transmission lines or live substation bays.
  • Hot work, welding, cutting, and heavy machinery operations.
• Enforce strict electrical isolation controls, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, grounding/earthing protocols, and safe working clearances.

3. Site Induction, Training & Subcontractor Management

• Deliver mandatory safety inductions, pre-task briefings, and daily Tool Box Talks (TBT) to site workers and subcontractors.
• Verify that all workers and subcontractors are properly equipped with, and correctly utilize, mandatory Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Monitor subcontractor operations continuously to ensure 100% compliance with Cosmic Infra’s HSE frameworks and contractual obligations.

4. Incident Management, Reporting & Compliance

• Report all site incidents, accidents, property damage, and near-misses immediately to leadership and assist with thorough root-cause investigations.
• Track and ensure the timely completion of all Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) arising from inspections, incidents, and audits.
• Support site emergency preparedness by overseeing first-aid stations, firefighting equipment readiness, and routine emergency response drills.
• Maintain accurate daily and weekly HSE records, site logs, and statutory documentation, delivering timely reports to site management.
• Enforce strong site housekeeping standards and environmentally responsible waste disposal practices.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• HSE Compliance: Adherence to project, client, and regulatory HSE standards.
• Hazard Identification: Reduction in unsafe acts/conditions and speed of closure on safety action items.
• Procedural Verification: 100% compliance with PTW, JSA, Tool Box Talks, and PPE mandates.
• Incident Performance: Frequency and severity rates of accidents, lost-time injuries (LTI), and near-miss logging.
• Subcontractor Alignment: Level of HSE compliance and policy adherence among third-party contractors.
• Reporting & Audits: Accuracy and timeliness of daily/weekly reporting and overall performance during internal/client HSE audits.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Education: Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Occupational Health & Safety, or a related technical discipline.
• Certifications: NEBOSH (IGC), IOSH, OSHA 30-Hour, or equivalent recognized safety qualification preferred.
• Experience: Minimum 3–5 years of active construction/EPC safety supervision experience.
• Domain Expertise: Prior experience on High-Voltage Transmission Line, Power Distribution, or Substation projects is strongly preferred.
• Technical Knowledge: Deep practical understanding of work-at-height safety, high-voltage electrical hazards, rigging/lifting standards, excavation safety, and emergency response procedures.
• Mobility: Full willingness and ability to reside at project sites and work in remote regional locations as required.

Key Competencies & Leadership Attributes

• Field Presence & Authority: Confident in asserting site authority to enforce safety rules and halt unsafe work without hesitation.
• Hazard Intuition: Practical, sharp, and proactive approach to recognizing site hazards before incidents occur.
• Clear Communication: Ability to effectively communicate safety requirements to engineers, field supervisors, labor crews, and subcontractors.
• Resilience & Discipline: Highly disciplined, responsible, and capable of maintaining safety standards under tight project deadlines.
• Zero-Accident Commitment: Passionate dedication to instilling a proactive safety-first culture across all levels of the workforce.
