Safety Representative

Company: The Heritage Group
Location: Indianapolis
Posted on: March 20, 2023

Job Description:

Milestone Contractors is a fully integrated highway, heavy construction, asphalt paving, concrete paving, and site-development general contractor providing construction services throughout the state of Indiana and beyond. As a member of The Heritage Group family, we are always seeking opportunity and growth. As our parent company celebrates its 90th anniversary, so we also honor our past. We acknowledge and celebrate where we came from, the hard work it took to get us here, and individual successes that have benefitted our larger group today. In 1994, many individual companies came together to become one unified Milestone. Like our history, the Indiana construction companies under The Heritage Group are reaching a new milestone in 2021: the unification of Walsh & Kelly, Inc., Wabash Valley Asphalt, and Milestone Contractors.
But, we are so much more than that - we are family.
We have built a culture that believes in the value of every person. We all come from different backgrounds and upbringings, many from different races, religions, political beliefs, identities, and ethnicities. We have respect for one another and place a priority on the physical and psychological safety of our team.
We currently have an opening for a Safety Representative for our Indianapolis/Columbus area.
