Crystal Lake, Illinois, United States JA Frate Full time
About the Job:
Safety is a top priority at JA Frate, and we are seeking a talented professional to join our team as a Safety Coordinator and CDL Driver Recruiter. This hybrid role combines two critical areas: ensuring the safety compliance of operations and recruiting qualified CDL drivers.

In this dynamic position, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining safety programs, policies, and procedures tailored to the transportation and logistics industry. You will also oversee workplace safety standards, conduct safety training, and manage driver recruitment activities to meet company needs.

As the Safety Coordinator, your primary focus will be on fostering a strong safety culture by promoting personal responsibility across the organization. You will develop and implement safety initiatives, monitor certifications, investigate accidents or near misses, administer workers' compensation claims, and ensure employees receive proper medical attention. Additionally, you will conduct regular audits and inspections to identify hazards and recommend improvements.

As the Recruiter, your role will involve sourcing qualified CDL drivers through job boards, social media, networking, and employee referrals. Responsibilities include reviewing resumes, conducting phone interviews, coordinating candidate interviews with hiring managers, and managing the onboarding process, including background checks, drug testing, and DOT physicals. The successful candidate will maintain a pipeline of CDL driver candidates, ensuring compliance with DOT guidelines, and collaborate with management to forecast hiring needs.

About the Requirements:
We are looking for an individual with a Bachelor's degree in Safety Management, Occupational Health & Safety, Transportation and Logistics, Human Resources, Business Administration, or equivalent work experience. Ideal candidates will have 2-4 years of experience in safety management, preferably in transportation/logistics, and 1-3 years in recruiting, especially hiring CDL drivers. Prior experience with regulatory compliance and safety program development is also essential. Familiarity with industry regulations and best practices (DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, EPA, HAZMAT) is required, along with proficiency in safety, training, and reporting software, ATS, and recruiting platforms (LinkedIn, Indeed).

About the Company:
The JA Group is a Transportation and Logistics provider with facilities in McHenry, Lake, and Cook counties. We have four operating divisions providing asset-based transportation, nationwide brokerage services, warehouse and distribution, and fleet services. With over 50 years of experience in the industry and a team of 150 employees, we incorporate our core values into every aspect of our business from hiring practices to customer acquisition and our commitment to our communities. They guide us in our decision-making processes - Team Before Self, Optimism, Integrity, and Customer Satisfaction.

The estimated salary for this position is $62,000 to $75,000 commensurate with experience.
