POSITION SUMMARY

A fuel transportation company operating across California and neighboring states is seeking an experienced HSSE Compliance Manager – Hazmat to lead all safety, hazardous materials, and regulatory compliance functions.

This role is the organization’s primary authority on DOT, FMCSA, EPA, OSHA, CalOSHA, CARB, and PHMSA compliance. The HSSE Manager will oversee driver safety programs, hazmat compliance, spill response, vehicle/tank regulatory requirements, and the development of a strong safety culture across all operations.

Manage the 90‐Day BIT program for all tanker trailers.
Ensure vapor recovery systems meet CARB requirements.
Oversee annual tank certifications and pressure tests.
Maintain accurate OOS tracking for all trucks and trailers.
Conduct periodic yard inspections across all terminal locations.

5. Safety Programs, Training & Culture Development

Develop and maintain the company’s Safety Management Program.
Deliver training on hazmat transport, emergency response, HOS/ELD, defensive driving, spill prevention, fatigue management, and product handling.
Maintain training records per FMCSA retention requirements.
Oversee new driver safety orientation; no driver operates independently without completion.
Partner with operations to maintain a “Train the Trainer” program.
Promote a safety‐first culture across all departments.

6. Driver Qualification & DOT Drug & Alcohol Program

Maintain all Driver Qualification files per 49 CFR Part 391.
Conduct annual MVR reviews and address disqualifying violations.
Manage the DOT Drug & Alcohol program under 49 CFR Part 382 and Part 40.

Ensure all supervisors complete required reasonable suspicion training.

7. Incident Investigation & Reporting

Lead investigations for accidents, spills, contamination events, near‐misses, and regulatory violations.
Produce written incident reports including root cause, corrective actions, and timelines.
Manage all regulatory reporting: EPA spill notifications, PHMSA hazmat reports, OSHA logs, FMCSA accident register.
Present monthly safety performance reports to senior leadership.
Review and resolve fitness‐for‐duty concerns.
