Job Description
WeDriveU is a recognized leader in the shared mobility solutions industry, specializing in providing innovative transportation services that connect communities, campuses, and workplaces throughout the United States. Established as a key player in the transit sector, WeDriveU operates a robust network that includes private shuttle and public transit systems, facilitating millions of passenger journeys annually. With a dedicated workforce exceeding 5,500 team members, the company manages a fleet of approximately 4,000 vehicles spread across 55 U.S. locations. This extensive operational footprint supports a commitment to delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable mobility options.
WeDriveU forms part of a global family of brands known for serving over one billion bus and rail passengers across four continents, emphasizing the company's substantial experience and international reach within the transportation industry. This affiliation enables WeDriveU to leverage global best practices in transit operations, safety, and customer service, driving continual improvement and innovation in its offerings. The company's mission centers on enhancing transit accessibility and efficiency while promoting environmental stewardship and community connectivity.
The Safety Manager role at WeDriveU is a crucial position within the organization, tasked with developing, overseeing, and enforcing comprehensive safety compliance programs for the company's transit operations. This role primarily focuses on adherence to regulations set forth by governing bodies such as the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and California OSHA (CAL-OSHA). The Safety Manager ensures that all safety protocols align with these regulatory frameworks, fostering a culture of safety and preparedness across the workforce.
This position involves strategic oversight of safety training programs, including the design and implementation of both initial and recurrent training initiatives tailored for transportation personnel. The successful candidate will supervise driver trainers, establish performance standards, and directly oversee classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction to guarantee effective driver training and certification. The Safety Manager also plays a pivotal role in administering drug and alcohol testing programs, maintaining compliance with corporate regulations and supporting a drug-free workplace.
Moreover, the Safety Manager is responsible for coordinating safety meetings, investigating incidents, responding to customer service concerns related to safety, and managing the Company Safe Driver Award Program. This comprehensive approach ensures continual safety improvements and helps mitigate risks associated with transit operations.
This position demands a proactive leader with strong organizational, leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills, capable of managing multiple tasks while promoting a positive and compliant workplace environment. The Safety Manager should be adept at coaching and mentoring employees and responding effectively to unforeseen events to maintain high standards of customer service and operational safety. The role necessitates a high school diploma or equivalent with some college preferred, along with relevant experience in transportation training and safety. Candidates must be able to obtain a Class B passenger license within six months of hire and complete company certification programs to meet all regulatory and company-specific requirements.
At WeDriveU, employees receive competitive compensation packages complemented by an extensive benefits program that addresses physical, financial, and emotional health needs. The company offers medical, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits, a 401(k) plan with employer matching, commuter benefits, paid time off, paid holidays, employee assistance programs, and opportunities for professional growth through ongoing training and internal transfers. WeDriveU prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering a workplace where every employee's ideas and contributions are valued, ensuring a welcoming and supportive environment for all team members. Candidates pursuing the Safety Manager role will find a dynamic, mission-driven company dedicated to safety excellence and workforce development in the transportation industry.
