About the Opportunity

Sheakley is seeking experienced Safety Technicians for a fast-moving, short-term shutdown project at a General Motors facility in Flint, MI .

This is an excellent opportunity for safety professionals who are available for immediate project work and have experience supporting industrial shutdowns, turnarounds, outages, or high-activity manufacturing environments.

The Safety Technician will provide hands-on field safety oversight during critical shutdown activities, helping ensure contractor work is performed safely, efficiently, and in compliance with OSHA, site-specific, and company safety requirements.

This role is best suited for someone who is proactive, confident in the field, and comfortable stepping into a fast-paced industrial environment where real-time hazard recognition and clear communication matter.

What You'll Be Doing

• Monitor contractor activities to ensure compliance with OSHA and site-specific safety standards

• Conduct field audits, inspections, and hazard assessments throughout the shift

• Identify unsafe conditions and help drive immediate corrective action

• Support supervisors, contractors, and site leadership with safe work practices

• Maintain a visible safety presence during active shutdown operations

• Document safety observations, incidents, near misses, and corrective actions

• Reinforce jobsite expectations and help reduce risk during critical work activities

Ideal Candidate Background

✅ Experience supporting industrial shutdowns, turnarounds, outages, or manufacturing projects
✅ Strong understanding of construction and industrial safety practices
✅ Comfortable working extended 12-hour shifts
✅ Strong communication skills and a confident field presence
✅ Ability to identify hazards quickly and address issues professionally
✅ Reliable transportation to and from the site
✅ Previous experience at General Motors facilities is highly preferred

Why This Role Stands Out
