  • Deliver safety training, toolbox talks, and compliance programs for drivers and plant teams
  • Monitor and report on safety KPIs, incident rates, and regulatory compliance metrics
  • Ensure adherence to FMCSA regulations, driver qualification standards, and fleet safety policies
Leadership, Culture & Workforce Development
  • Promote SRM’s 5 Principles: Safety, Quality, Kindness, Cleanliness, and Go-Getter mindset
  • Build a safety-first culture while driving employee engagement and accountability
  • Partner with HR and operations leaders on talent development, retention, and performance improvement
