Jason Unwin Promoted to Safety Director

TJ Wies Contracting is excited to announce the promotion of Jason Unwin, Safety Trained Supervisor Construction (STSC), to Safety Director from his previous role as Safety Manager for the Greater St. Louis Region. As Safety Director, Jason will manage the ongoing development, implementation, and administration of TJ Wies’ Safety Program and initiatives.  

In his three years with TJ Wies Contracting, Jason’s knowledge and expertise has been a valuable addition to the team. Jason’s management of the Greater St. Louis Region upon the onset of Covid-19 and subsequent restrictions and regulations was integral to daily operations. During Jason’s time at TJ Wies, TJ Wies tradespersons achieved the significant milestone of two-million hours worked without a lost-time incident.

Jason stated, “I am excited to continue my career with TJ Wies as Safety Director. Safety is a way of life at TJ Wies, it’s one of our Core Values. I am grateful to be part of a team that is as passionate about safety and employee well-being as myself. I’m proud to promote a strong safety culture so that all TJ Wies employees can go home to their family and friends each night the same way they arrived to work that morning.”

As Safety Director, Jason will continue to monitor the daily safety operations of approximately 500 tradesmen and tradeswomen via jobsite visits, develop training programs and opportunities – including working with OSHA via the OSHA Strategic Partnership Program (OSPP), research and implement new safety technology and practices, and work closely with fellow supervisors and team personnel, while executing the strategic plans and direction put forth by TJ Wies’ Leadership Team of Directors.
