• Oversee driver training, evaluation, and annual formal reviews for all Conventional, Custom, and Community transit operators.
• Lead driver discipline, monitor regulatory compliance, and provide coaching and corrective action as needed.
• Dispatch drivers and vehicles, make real-time adjustments for breakdowns, traffic, or weather conditions.
• Investigate incidents, including collisions, passenger injuries, and spills, and ensure timely and complete reporting.
• Respond to on-road issues via radio, monitor transit exchanges, and ensure consistent coordination of passenger transfers.
• Support and manage customer service by maintaining daily logs and addressing service disruptions or customer concerns.
• Lead Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) initiatives, identify hazards, and facilitate SGSM and monthly safety meetings.
• Support driver recruitment and hiring processes in collaboration with the General Manager.
• Oversee and monitor daily Pre-Trip inspection forms, ensure paperwork is accurate, and enter vehicle kilometers into the system.
• Coordinate with maintenance providers for bus servicing and repairs.
• Utilize computer software effectively including MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and Keolis-specific applications.

• Knowledge of driver scheduling, dispatching, and incident response procedures.
• Comfortable working in dynamic, real-time environments with strong decision-making under pressure.
• Technologically confident, with working knowledge of computer applications and willingness to learn new tools and software.
