Background

About Cody Dean

I am a dedicated and results-driven HSE professional with over 16 years of experience in occupational safety, regulatory compliance, and law enforcement across high-risk sectors including oil & gas, auto manufacturing, heavy civil, and telecom infrastructure. I specialize in aligning safety culture with operational excellence — from small-scale projects to large-scale capital builds nearing the billion-dollar mark. Currently, I serve as the HSE Supervisor – East US Infrastructure at Ledcor Technical Services, where I oversee field safety and compliance across multiple states. My responsibilities include regional audit programs, subcontractor evaluations, workforce training, incident investigation, and the execution of client-specific safety protocols. I’m directly involved in onboarding and managing subcontractor risk. I support DOT/Fleet compliance, confined space procedures, and fall protection instruction. Over the years, I’ve supported diverse clients and project scopes — from confined space coordination and refinery safety in the oil and gas sector to telecom rollouts and high-volume infrastructure upgrades. Past clients include Merck, Toyota, and Marathon Petroleum Refineries, where I’ve led safety efforts in complex, high-regulation environments.
