Coordinate with various business leaders to ensure ongoing improvement and maintain focus on WestJet’s safety programs.
Develop, deliver, and maintain initial and recurrent training for all operational auditors. Ensure oversight is conducted on operational auditors, including identifying opportunities for individual auditor continuous improvement. Gather and analyze feedback from audit surveys, incorporating lessons learned into training, procedures, and team practices.
Lead, execute, and document operational quality audits in compliance with the standards outlined by Transport Canada, IATA, and internal protocols. Additionally, lead focused audits and ad hoc audits driven by the needs of the airline's Safety Management System (SMS).
Collaborate with external consultants, safety auditors, and regulatory authorities as needed to ensure comprehensive audit coverage and compliance with industry standards.
Establish a systematic approach for conducting comprehensive quality control checks on Operational Auditors, ensuring strict adherence to documented policies and procedures.
Identify areas for improvement and efficiency within the audit team, contributing to continuous process improvement.
Extensive travel is required, with the potential to spend up to 26 weeks per year across WestJet’s network. The successful candidate must be willing and able to travel frequently, including overnight and international travel.
