• Support divisions with transportation-related compliance documentation and administrative requirements.
• Assist with transportation-related incident reviews or investigations as required.

Process Improvement, AI & Automation

Responsibilities may include:

• Reviewing current transportation compliance workflows, forms, trackers, files, and administrative processes.
• Identifying opportunities to reduce manual, paper-based, duplicate, or repetitive work.
• Using AI tools, automation tools, digital systems, and other technology to help streamline administrative tasks.
• Creating, updating, and maintaining digital forms, templates, checklists, trackers, reports, dashboards, workflows, and standard operating procedures.
• Using AI tools to summarize information, draft documents, improve communication, organize data, create checklists, or support reporting.
• Using automation tools to reduce repetitive administrative tasks and improve follow-up, tracking, and consistency.
• Improving manual or paper-based processes by helping move them into digital systems.
• Building, maintaining, or improving spreadsheets, reports, dashboards, and tracking tools.
• Identifying gaps in current processes and helping design cleaner, more consistent ways of working.

• Ability to learn and apply transportation compliance requirements, including driver files, hours of service, electronic logs, trip inspections, TDG documentation, and related regulatory records.
• Previous experience in transportation, fleet, logistics, safety, regulatory compliance, or driver documentation is considered an asset but is not required.
• Familiarity with National Safety Code standards, DOT, FMCSA, TDG, or provincial transportation regulations is considered an asset.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain organized, accurate, and audit-ready records.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work with drivers, operations teams, Fleet, Safety, and management.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be organized, curious, adaptable, and comfortable learning. They will be someone who enjoys improving processes, using technology, and finding better ways to complete administrative work.

This person does not need to know every transportation regulation on day one. However, they should be willing to learn, able to follow regulatory requirements, and comfortable supporting compliance-related documentation, reporting, tracking, and audits.

This role is well-suited for someone who does not simply maintain a process because “that is how it has always been done,” but instead looks for better, cleaner, and more efficient ways to complete the work.

The successful candidate will bring a curious, hands-on approach and be willing to learn new tools, test better ways of working, and help move current processes away from manual or paper-based administration.
