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

• 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.

Compensation

Salary is discussed individually based on your experience, skills, and potential. We’re open to strong candidates at different levels of seniority.

Work conditions

• Format: fully remote (no time-tracking/monitoring software)
• Schedule: Mon-Fri, 3:00 PM — 12:00 AM (Kyiv time)
• Probation period: 3 months
• Paid time off and sick leave
• Real ownership: build processes from scratch and shape how the department runs
