Health, Safety & Claims Manager – Transportation Operations in Edmonton

tappCONNECT Inc. is seeking an experienced transportation safety professional to lead our Health & Safety, Claims, and Driver Safety functions. Reporting directly to the Director of Operations, the Manager leads a small operational team consisting of a Claims employee and a Road Supervisor. This is primarily a manager-of-function-and-people role, but it is intentionally hands-on. The Manager must understand the work of both direct reports and be prepared to provide operational coverage during vacations, absences, and other periods when support is needed.

Transportation Safety Leadership

• The Claims employee receives and processes collision files, gathers and documents supporting information, and develops the claim/investigation record.
• The Road Supervisor conducts road tests and competency assessments for new and existing drivers and produces detailed telematics reporting on driver behaviour and performance.
• The Manager:
• Reviews collision, claims, road-assessment, and telematics information
• Identifies driver and fleet-safety trends
• Establishes corrective-action and training priorities
• Coaches and directs the Claims employee and Road Supervisor
• Works with Operations to address driver-performance concerns
• Uses collision and telematics information to reduce preventable incidents
• Identifies systemic driver-safety issues
• Maintains sufficient working proficiency in claims processing, collision documentation, road testing, and telematics review to provide coverage when either direct report is unavailable

Health & Safety / COR

The Manager has direct ownership of the organization’s H&S/COR management system and is responsible for:

• 5+ years of progressive health and safety experience
• Transportation, trucking, transit, fleet or commercial-vehicle experience preferred
• Previous supervisory or leadership experience
• Experience with COR
• Knowledge of Alberta OHS requirements
• Experience with collision and incident investigation
• Understanding of WCB and claims processes
• Strong analytical, coaching and communication skills
• Ability to interpret claims, telematics and driver-performance information
• Willingness and ability to provide hands-on operational coverage for team members when required
• Valid Alberta driver’s license
• Knowledge of Alberta National Safety Code requirements, commercial fleet safety, preventable-collision analysis, driver assessment, remedial training, telematics, vehicle-camera systems and fatigue/distracted-driving prevention would be valuable.
• CTSC, CTSP, CRSP, CRST, CHSC, NCSO or COR Auditor credentials are considered assets.
