About The Position

The Site Safety & Compliance Lead serves as the senior safety representative for an assigned market, creating a safe, compliant, and operationally sound workplace. Reporting to the Director of Mobility Safety, this role leads environmental health and safety compliance, employee safety, incident and injury management, emergency preparedness, operational assurance, and local safety-culture efforts. The position works closely with employees and local leaders to identify and correct hazards, reinforce safe work and driving practices, and apply Just Culture and Safety Management System principles across fleet operations. A Day in the Life: No two days are the same.

Your visible presence and sound judgment will help employees feel supported while strengthening accountability and a proactive safety culture.
