• Own audits end‑to‑end: plan/perform internal audits and prep for regulator/customer reviews across HOS, DQ, licensing/medicals, drug & alcohol, hazardous materials/TDG, maintenance‑related requirements, roadside inspections; track findings and corrective actions to closure.

• Lead the team: supervise the HOS Specialist (including local driver Lytx coaching in Calgary) and 3 Administrative Contractors handling recordkeeping, document control, submissions, and retention; set weekly priorities and QA their work.

• HOS/ELD excellence: manage unassigned driving, edits/annotations, exemptions, and coaching/ride‑along with Safety Execution; provide plain‑language tips, tools, and quick guides for drivers and supervisors.

• Data & systems: steward compliance software and document systems; ensure data quality, retention, and audit trails; build simple dashboards (HOS, DQ, D&A, roadside trends) for leaders and terminals.

• Safety integration: support Investigation & Learning on fact‑finding and data accuracy; implement recommended controls that impact compliance; align improvement plans with Safety Execution.

• Manage Third Party Compliance Vendor expectations: ensure expectations are met.
