Smith joins Olsson after spending 15 years working in construction in the Kansas City area. Most recently, he served as Safety Manager and led a team of five safety and health professionals for a large construction company. In this role, he drove the organization’s safety culture, ensuring all employees were as secure as possible.
“The safety of our employees has always been of the utmost importance, and bringing in Joey to lead in this area elevates our commitment to providing a safe and secure work environment for our people and for the communities where we live and work,” said Jeff Ford, Olsson’s Senior Director of Technical Support. “Joey is the ideal person to integrate a focus on safety into everything we do as a firm.”
Though Smith has been based in Kansas City, he has overseen safety projects throughout North America.
“I’m excited to spearhead Olsson’s commitment to safety,” Smith said. “I look forward to working with our teams to ensure everyone receives the proper support and necessary training so we can continue to provide excellent service in a safe manner to our clients.”
