Coordinate workers’ compensation claims and return-to-work processes in partnership with Human Resources.

Coordinate liability, vehicle, and other operational claims with insurance carriers, adjusters, brokers, and legal counsel, as assigned.

Monitor claims, injuries, and loss trends and prepare reports and recommendations for leadership.

Training – Operations and Maintenance:

Direct and oversee training programs for bus operators, maintenance employees, and other designated safety-sensitive operational staff.

Oversee new operator training, refresher training, remedial training, accident prevention training, defensive driving, ADA and securement-related training, and other required operational safety training.

Oversee maintenance-related safety and compliance training in coordination with maintenance leadership.

Support CDL-related training requirements, operator readiness, and training documentation.

Ensure required training records are maintained and available for compliance, audit, and operational purposes.

Emergency Preparedness and Incident Response:

Support emergency response planning, severe weather preparation, and business continuity efforts related to transit operations.

Participate in major incident response and post-incident review.

Coordinate with Operations, Maintenance, Human Resources, and executive leadership during serious accidents, employee injuries, and service disruptions.

Leadership and Administration:
Supervise staff assigned to the Safety, Risk and Training functions.
Prepare reports, dashboards, and recommendations related to accidents, claims, training completion and safety performance.
Assist with departmental budgeting, vendor oversight, and procurement related to safety and training programs.
Build effective working relationships with regulators, outside partners, insurers, and internal departments

Minimum Qualifications:

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in public transit, transportation, logistics, fleet operations, or another highly regulated operating environment.
Experience with PTASP, SMS, DOT, FTA, FMCSA, OSHA, ADA, workers’ compensation, or safety-sensitive training requirements.
