Head of Safety Department (USA Trucking)

Ameriland Transport is a fast-growing US trucking and logistics company. As we scale, we’re looking for an experienced leader to take full ownership of our Safety department and build a strong team around them.

This role is for someone who thrives on turning chaos into order, makes decisions confidently, isn’t afraid of accountability, and wants to build a system — not just maintain one.

If you like seeing the results of your work reflected in numbers, processes, and a strong team, this could be your next big career move.

• Freedom to make decisions and implement your own ideas
• Work directly with company leadership — no unnecessary bureaucracy
• Build and lead your own Safety team

• Room for professional and financial growth alongside the company

What you’ll be doing

Team leadership

• Lead the Safety team: assign tasks, control quality, develop team members
• Onboard new specialists and transfer standards and processes
• Report to management on team KPIs and the overall state of the Safety department
• Build and continuously improve internal Safety processes

Safety Score — full ownership

• Monitor and improve the company’s CSA score
• Manage inspections, violations, and DataQs challenges
• Build a system for monitoring, reporting, and preventive action
• Analyze trends and develop solutions to reduce risk

Operational Safety

• Oversee your team’s work to keep company documentation current: DOT registration, permits, insurance policies
• Ensure the team tracks driver documentation and renewal deadlines
• Set up and supervise drug & alcohol testing processes, including random testing
• Ensure timely filing of IFTA, UCR, permits, and insurance documents through your team
• Oversee the handling of insurance claims
• Direct the development of training materials and programs for drivers

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of Safety experience in the US trucking/logistics industry
• Hands-on experience with CSA scores, DataQs, and DOT inspections — required
• Experience managing or mentoring a team is a strong plus
• Solid understanding of DOT requirements and safety systems
• Detail-oriented, accountable, highly self-organized
• English — Intermediate or higher
• Strong analytical thinking and comfort handling complex, high-pressure situations

Please note: candidates without hands-on Safety management experience will not be considered.

Work conditions

• Format: fully remote (no time-tracking/monitoring software)
• Schedule: Mon-Fri, 3:00 PM — 12:00 AM (Kyiv time)
• Salary: $1,500/month during the first 3 months. After the trial period, it will increase to 2000$/month.
• Paid time off and sick leave
• Real ownership: build processes from scratch and shape how the department runs
