LiquidStack builds and services the liquid-cooling systems that power the next generation of AI and high-performance computing. As we scale across multiple Texas facilities, we’re looking for a Safety Coordinator who owns safety for all of our locations—keeping our people protected, our sites compliant, and our culture grounded in respect and accountability. This is a hands-on specialist role at a fast-moving startup. You’ll be the company’s go-to safety expert across all sites, and you’ll partner closely to support our physical security program as we grow.

Position Summary

The EHS Specialist is the company-wide owner of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) across all LiquidStack locations—our two Carrollton facilities and our upcoming Fort Worth site—as well as field-service operations. You will develop, implement, and monitor safety programs that prevent injuries, ensure OSHA and regulatory compliance, and build a proactive safety culture across the organization. This role combines hands-on floor presence with program ownership. You’ll conduct inspections and training, investigate incidents, maintain records and metrics, and serve as a key support to the company’s physical security program, ensuring our people, visitors, and assets are protected at every location.

- Support readiness for ISO 45001 (occupational health & safety) and ISO 9001 quality management system audits.

Training & Safety Culture

- Develop and deliver safety training—new-hire orientation, toolbox talks, PPE, lockout/tagout, HAZMAT/HAZWOPER, machine and fluid-handling safety, and emergency response.

- Drive a behavior-based safety culture and coach supervisors and team members to recognize hazards and consistently follow safe practices.

- Build trust across teams while holding everyone accountable for a Safety-First mindset.

Incident Response & Emergency Preparedness

- Investigate accidents, injuries, and near-misses; lead root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

- Maintain first aid / CPR / AED readiness and coordinate workers’ compensation reporting and return-to-work processes.

Data, Metrics & Continuous Improvement

- Track and report safety metrics and leading indicators (incident rates, near-misses, training completion, corrective-action closure).

- Use data and dashboards to target risk and drive measurable improvement.

- Stay current on regulations, industry best practices, and emerging safety and security technology.
