Safety isn’t a binder on a shelf.

At Van Kam

Freightways, we’ve been keeping freight — and people — moving across Western Canada for decades. Behind every truck on the road, every shipment on the dock and every employee heading home at the end of their shift is a commitment to doing things the right way. We’re looking for a Safety & Compliance Manager who can help us take that commitment to the next level.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk and police policies. We’re looking for someone who wants to be in the operation — talking with drivers, walking the docks, coaching leaders, digging into incidents, spotting trends and turning safety data into meaningful action. You’ll be part safety leader, part compliance expert, part coach and part problem-solver.

Most importantly, you’ll help us build a safety culture that reflects our values: As our Safety & Compliance Manager, you’ll lead safety, transportation compliance, injury management and operational risk across our transportation and warehouse operations. That means balancing regulatory compliance with practical solutions, holding people accountable when needed and helping our leaders understand the why behind what we do. You’ll oversee our transportation and workplace safety compliance programs, including: National Safety Code (NSC) Hours of Service and ELD compliance Commercial vehicle safety requirements Driver qualifications and compliance Occupational Health & Safety requirements Warehouse and dock safety Regulatory inspections and audits Make Safety Visible We want safety to be something people see, hear and experience every day.

You’ll spend time in our terminals, on our docks and with our drivers and leaders — conducting inspections, coaching,



supporting safety meetings and looking for opportunities to make work safer. You’ll lead and support initiatives around equipment safety, PPE, emergency preparedness, hazardous materials, secure work procedures, ergonomics and more. You’ll help us fix it.

You’ll lead and support investigations involving: Property damage Environmental incidents Safety-related cargo claims Help People Get Back to Work You’ll lead our injury management and return-to-work program, working with employees, leaders, healthcare providers and workers' compensation partners to coordinate safe and meaningful returns to work. You’ll manage claims, monitor recovery, develop modified work plans and use trends to help us prevent future injuries. It’s compliance — but it’s also CARE in action.

Turn Data Into Action

You’ll help us understand what our safety numbers are telling us. Hours of Service compliance Insurance claims Training completion Driver and terminal safety performance Manage Risk & Insurance You’ll also work closely with our insurance brokers and providers to support our commercial auto, cargo, liability, property and other insurance programs. You’ll help coordinate claims and renewals, respond to underwriting requests, monitor driver eligibility and identify opportunities to reduce both operational risk and the cost of that risk.





You understand transportation safety — really understand it. You’ve worked around trucks, drivers, terminals, warehouses or logistics operations and know that what makes sense in an office doesn’t always make sense at 2:00 a.m. on a freight dock. 5+ years of progressive safety, compliance or risk experience. ~ Experience in trucking, LTL, transportation, logistics, distribution or warehousing ~ Strong knowledge of transportation and occupational safety regulations ~ Experience with NSC, Hours of Service, ELDs and driver compliance ~ Experience with regulatory audits and inspections ~ Strong investigation and root-cause analysis skills ~ Confidence working with frontline employees and senior leaders ~ The ability to coach, challenge and influence without becoming the “Safety Police” ~ A diploma or degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Transportation, Business, Risk Management or a related field is an asset.

Certifications such as CRSP, CHSC, COR Auditor, TDG Instructor, Forklift Trainer or First Aid are great too — but we also value practical transportation experience and someone who knows how to get things done. Success in this role isn't measured by how many policies you write. Our compliance results are getting stronger.

Leaders understand their role in safety. And our people believe safety is something we do together — not something the Safety Department does to them. CARE - People come first. ACHIEVE - Safety needs results.

You’ll set expectations, follow through, use data to drive decisions and hold yourself and others accountable for making meaningful improvements. "Van Kam is an Equal Opportunity Employer Committed to Environmental Responsibility." #
