• Support transport risk assessments, critical control development and verification, and management of change for carriers, routes, equipment, and terminals.
• Assist with pre‑qualification, vetting, and periodic assessment of transportation service providers.
• Partner with operations and support functions to embed safety and regulatory requirements into contracts and service agreements.
• Support development, delivery, and maintenance of role‑based hazmat / dangerous goods training for employees and contractors.
• Verify training compliance and support competency assurance activities for personnel involved in shipping, loading/unloading, and documentation preparation.
• Provide technical regulatory and safety support during transportation incidents, including notifications, investigations, and corrective actions.
• Support transport incident emergency preparedness through coordination with emergency response teams.
• Support compliance assurance activities, including audits, inspections, and regulatory recordkeeping.
• Contribute to transport safety performance metrics, dashboards, and data‑informed improvement initiatives.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor and field trainer to operations, legal, and SHE&S partners.
• Engage with and represent Nutrien with relevant regulators and external stakeholders (e.g., FRA, TDG, Chemistry Trade Alliance, The Fertilizer Institute).

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline such as Safety, Engineering, Supply Chain, or similar.
• 10+ years’ experience with transportation regulatory compliance, including hazardous materials / dangerous goods.
• Strong working knowledge of various transportation modes (road, rail, marine, air) and their regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated skills to build trusted and collaborative relationships, with the ability to translate regulatory expectations into practical, operations-focused requirements and guidance.
• Strong leadership and communication skills, with demonstrated ability to influence at all organizational levels.
• Competent user of Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365.
