We partner with major private developers and government agencies to deliver exceptional infrastructure, from massive excavations to complex utility systems.

We take immense pride in maintaining rigorous safety standards and progressive environmental controls to protect our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.
About the Role
As a Construction Safety Officer (CSO) at TYBO, you are the frontline champion of our safety culture. This is not a passive desk job; you will be an active, visible leader across our dynamic civil infrastructure and heavy earthworks sites.
We are actively seeking dedicated and experienced Construction Safety Officers (CSOs) to oversee and enhance safety protocols across our construction sites. The CSO's fundamental role is to uphold TYBO’s stringent safety standards by meticulously monitoring the site-specific safety plan and ensuring full compliance with WorkSafeBC regulations. Beyond compliance, the CSO will proactively address any safety concerns that arise, build strong relationships in the field, and adeptly implement solutions that align with our steadfast commitment to safety.
Your work location might change from time to time as business needs arise; as we are actively hiring for our sites across the Lower Mainland. Site locations including but not limited to, Langley, Abbotsford, Vancouver, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey.
Key Responsibilities

· Field Inspections: Perform safety inspections and hazard assessments, while providing guidance on tool and heavy equipment usage.
· Incident & Emergency Management: Lead emergency response, manage First Aid resources, investigate incidents, and collaborate on safety record management.
What You Bring
The ideal candidate for the Construction Safety Officer role is someone who knows how to build relationships and drive compliance through support and trust. You should also demonstrate the ability to adapt on the go and be able to work both in a fast-paced work environment as well as a sometimes slower one.
While 5+ years of safety experience is ideal, we are highly supportive of candidates with fewer years of experience if you have foundational civil construction knowledge, a strong willingness to learn, and a proactive, "can-do" attitude.
