Safety Manager – Concrete Operations

Aurum Construction is expanding in Iowa, looking for a dedicated Safety Manager to support our field teams and ensure our concrete operations run at the highest standards of safety and compliance.

If you’re passionate about building a strong safety culture, partnering closely with crews in the field, and keeping people safe while delivering high-quality work, this is an opportunity to make a real impact with a fast‑perform concrete contractor.

Aurum Construction is the self‑perform concrete arm of Goldenrod Companies, focused on structural concrete, flatwork, and foundations across the Midwest.

We believe safety isn’t just a policy — it’s a responsibility to our people. Our culture is built on teamwork, accountability, and doing things the right way, and safety is foundational to how we operate.

As a Safety Manager, you’ll work directly with Superintendents, Foremen, Project Managers, and subcontractors to promote safe work practices on all Aurum projects throughout Iowa and the surrounding region.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — able to lead, teach, and influence field teams
• Ability to conduct thorough inspections and clearly document findings
• Experience delivering safety training and leading toolbox talks is a plus
• Willing and able to travel within a 3–4 hour driving range
• Certifications such as OSHA 30, CHST, CSP, or similar are preferred (but not required)
