Job Title

On-Site EMT — Construction Site

Canton, MS

Position Summary

We are seeking a certified Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) to serve as the on-site medical responder for an active construction site. The primary purpose of this role is to provide first-aid and emergency first-response medical care to workers in the event of injury or illness. This is not a safety-inspection or policy-enforcement role — the EMT’s responsibilities are limited to medical response and first aid (stabilization and initial care) only.

Key Responsibilities

Act as the site’s designated first-aid responder: respond promptly to accidents, injuries, or medical emergencies occurring on site.
Assess injured or ill individuals to determine the nature and extent of injury or illness, and establish appropriate first-aid treatment or emergency response.
Administer basic first aid and life-support care as needed (e.g., wound care, stabilizing fractures where allowed under scope of practice, CPR or BLS if required).
Coordinate with local emergency medical services (EMS) / ambulance / hospital for transport when injuries or illnesses exceed first-aid scope or require advanced medical care.
Maintain first-aid supplies and equipment on site: inventory, restock, and ensure all supplies are accessible and ready for use.
Keep accurate records of all medical incidents, treatment administered, and any follow-up or referrals as needed.
Maintain means of communication for contacting EMS / ambulance / hospital / medical facilities in case of emergencies.
Be available on site whenever work is ongoing — ready to respond immediately to any medical emergency or first-aid need.

Qualifications

Valid EMT certification (or equivalent first-aid/EMT credentials) in good standing.
Demonstrated knowledge and practical skills in first aid, BLS/CPR, wound care, injury stabilization, and emergency response.
Ability to remain calm under pressure, react quickly to emergencies, and make sound decisions regarding medical care on site.
Strong communication skills — able to liaise with construction site management, workers, external EMS/hospital staff, and document medical incidents clearly and accurately.
Physical ability to access all areas of a construction site; may include walking, climbing, and lifting or supporting injured workers, when needed. (Sites often include heavy equipment, uneven ground, and changing site conditions.)
Flexibility and availability to cover routine shifts or be on-call, depending on project scheduling and site needs.

Working Conditions

The role is located on-site at an active construction project.
Expect exposure to typical construction site hazards — noise, dust/debris, machinery, uneven terrain — though the EMT’s role is not to enforce safety or inspect work; only to respond medically if needed.
Work may require being on-call, variable shifts, and immediate response to incidents at any time during site operations.

Reporting & Collaboration

The EMT reports to the site Safety Manager/Construction Site Manager (or designated site supervisor).
In case of serious injury or illness beyond first aid scope, coordinate with external EMS/ambulance/hospital and site management for further care and documentation.
Maintain communication with site management regarding first-aid supply levels, incident logs, and trends in medical incidents for potential safety feedback.
