The Driver Development & Compliance Coordinator is responsible for verifying, building, and maintaining the competency and regulatory compliance of everyone who drives for Victor Energy and its affiliated companies. This includes light-duty pickups and trailers, Class 3 and Class 1 commercial units, and powerline vocational equipment such as digger derricks and bucket trucks, operated both on-highway and off-road on rights-of-way, access roads, and rig mats.
Embedded with field operations, this position delivers hands-on driver assessments, in-cab coaching, and practical training (including Motive electronic logbook use) so that drivers are confirmed competent before they are dispatched, not after an incident. The coordinator sets consistent standards for driver qualification, refresher training, remedial coaching, and return to driving across the company and its affiliates. Working alongside Fleet Compliance, which manages hours of service monitoring, driver qualification files, and abstract reviews, the coordinator provides field compliance checks, coaches drivers referred through those reviews, and keeps accurate, auditable records of every assessment, training session, and corrective action.
