Programmatic Manager - Low Voltage Deployment

The posting, as Nscale wrote it

About the Role

We're looking for a Programmatic EHS Manager to create, train, implement, and manage Nscale's overall Environmental, Health & Safety program for Low Voltage. You'll set the safety standards, processes, and metrics that every low-voltage project follows, and make sure they are applied consistently across sites and regions as we scale AI data center deployments.

The program covers everyone doing low-voltage work for Nscale: our full-time employees, Nscale contract employees, and the installation contractors we hire. You'll own the program for Nscale's own workforce and manage how installation contractors' safety programs meet our standards.

Confined space entry is a major part of this role. Low-voltage work regularly takes crews into underground vaults, manholes, utility tunnels, duct banks, and other permit-required spaces, and you will make sure everyone who enters them is trained, permitted, monitored, and covered by a rescue plan.

Our sites run several safety programs at once, including the general contractor's, the site owner's, and Nscale's own. You'll be the low-voltage team's main EHS contact with all of them. This is a program role rather than a site role, but in rare cases you will cover site safety directly when there is a gap in coverage.

What You'll Do

EHS Program Ownership

• Create, implement, and manage Nscale's EHS program for Low Voltage, including policies, standards, procedures, and site-specific safety plans.
• Define program requirements for job hazard analyses (JHAs), pre-task planning, permits to work, and stop-work authority.
• Set standards for high-risk activities common to low-voltage work, including confined space entry, work at heights, ladders and mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), work near energized equipment, lockout/tagout (LOTO), core drilling and dust control, firestopping, fiber optic handling, and material handling of cable reels and trays.
• Ensure the program complies with OSHA (29 CFR 1910 and 1926, including Subpart AA for confined spaces), NFPA 70E, state requirements, and site owner and customer rules.

Training & Safety Culture

• Build and deliver the low-voltage safety training program for Nscale full-time employees, contract employees, and installation contractors.
• Confined space entry: train and verify competency for entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors before any entry, covering permits, atmospheric testing and continuous monitoring, ventilation, isolation, and communication.
• Confined space entry: ensure every entry has a written rescue plan, with rescue services that are trained, available, and able to respond in time, and audit entries in the field.
• Develop and deliver training on program standards, hazard recognition, and other high-risk work.
• Maintain training and competency records for all low-voltage personnel.
• Build a strong reporting culture where near misses and hazards are raised early and stop-work authority is used without hesitati
