Amazon's North American Surface Transportation Safety & Compliance team (NAST S&C) is hiring a Compliance Analyst for Safety Monitoring. The team measures carrier safety performance against Amazon's standards using FMCSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) data and Amazon's Violation Rate Metrics (VRM), and takes action when a carrier falls below the standard.
This role supports either third-party (3P) carrier monitoring or monitoring of Amazon's own fleet, Transportation Operations Management (TOM); the core work is the same for both. You will run recurring monitoring steps on a fixed schedule, pull and validate data, keep every case record current, and report results. The work is methodical and procedure-driven: each step follows written procedures and fixed thresholds, and every result can trigger an enforcement or safety action, so you will verify the data before it moves. You will report to the Safety Monitoring manager and escalate anything that falls outside the procedure.
Key job responsibilities
- Pull safety data from FMCSA SMS and internal sources on the monthly schedule.
- Validate every record against source data before it goes out, reconciling counts, spot-checking individual records, and documenting each check.
- Maintain SIM and Asana so the current status of every case lives in one place.
- Prepare recurring metrics for business reviews, including suspension and reinstatement counts, exception outcomes, inspection results, and cycle timeliness.
- Maintain procedure documents and recommend process improvements.
- Escalate data discrepancies, new case types, and anything with possible legal exposure.
- Prepare the monthly BASICs and VRM suspension and reinstatement lists against the written thresholds.
- Log carrier exception requests, build each case file against the written criteria, and present cases at the weekly exception review.
- Record every review decision as granted, denied, or pending final review.
- Submit suspension and reinstatement tickets to Carrier Health and confirm they are actioned.
- Send carrier notifications from approved templates once a decision is recorded, answer carrier questions about their status, and route anything outside the templates to your manager.
- Monitor carriers under review each week for new violations, out-of-service events, and safety rating changes.
- Run the same monitoring steps for Amazon's own fleet, tracking roadside inspection results, out-of-service events, violations, and BASICs results for TOM.
- Report trends and open items to TOM safety and operations leaders on a set schedule.
- Flag changes that need attention, such as a rising violation rate or a new out-of-service event, to your manager and TOM safety leaders.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 2+ years of professional or military experience
- 1+ years of working with computers and Microsoft Office products and applications experience
- High school or equivalent
- Can lift up to 49 pounds, stand/walk during shifts lasting up to 12 hours, and be able to frequently push, pull, squat, bend, and reach
- Work 40 hours/week, and overtime as required
- Work a flexible schedule/shift/work area, including weekends, nights, and/or holidays
- Are 18 years of age or older

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Safety Specialist
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
WorkSafe and Safe Work Australia certifications aren't automatically recognized by U.S. hiring managers. Map your credentials to OSHA 30-hour equivalents and highlight any NEBOSH or ISO 45001 experience, which U.S. safety teams understand immediately.
Target industries with mandatory safety headcounts
Construction, chemical manufacturing, and utilities are federally required to maintain dedicated safety staff under OSHA standards. These industries file LCAs consistently and are more familiar with specialty occupation sponsorship than general corporate employers.
Clarify specialty occupation status before applying
Not every Safety Specialist role qualifies for E-3 visa sponsorship. Roles requiring a specific bachelor's degree in safety, industrial hygiene, or engineering pass the specialty occupation test. Generalist roles where any degree is acceptable may not, so confirm the job description specifies a field-specific degree requirement.
Ask about LCA timelines during offer negotiation
Your employer must file a certified LCA with DOL before you can apply at a U.S. consulate. DOL certifies most LCAs within seven business days, but your start date depends on it. Raise this early so HR doesn't schedule a start date before certification clears.
Use Migrate Mate to handle your LCA and filing paperwork
E-3 filings involve coordinating DOL LCA certification, DS-160 completion, and consulate preparation simultaneously. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage the entire process end-to-end, so paperwork errors don't delay your start date with your new employer.
Prepare for consulate questions about incident investigation experience
Consular officers assess whether your background genuinely supports a specialty occupation claim. Bring documentation of formal incident investigations, safety audits, or compliance reports you've authored, not just your degree certificate, to substantiate the technical nature of your role.
E-3 Visa Safety Specialist: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Safety Specialist jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Most job listings don't explicitly advertise E-3 sponsorship because the visa is employer-initiated after an offer. Search for Safety Specialist roles in OSHA-regulated industries and filter by employers with a history of work visa sponsorship. Migrate Mate surfaces roles from employers who have sponsored E-3 and H-1B visas, saving you the manual research.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Safety Specialist role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It depends on how the role is defined. A Safety Specialist position that requires a bachelor's degree specifically in occupational health, safety engineering, or industrial hygiene qualifies. Roles where the employer accepts any bachelor's degree regardless of field are harder to support. Review the job description carefully before accepting an offer, and ask the employer to specify the degree field requirement in the LCA.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Safety Specialist roles in the U.S.?
For Australian nationals, the E-3 is significantly more practical than the H-1B. The H-1B is subject to an annual lottery with roughly a 25% selection rate, while the E-3 has a 10,500 annual cap that has never been reached. You can apply at an Australian consulate and receive a decision in days, rather than waiting months for USCIS adjudication under the H-1B process.
Can I switch Safety Specialist employers while on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you can't simply transfer your existing E-3 status to a new employer. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp at a U.S. consulate or, in some cases, file for a change of status with USCIS. Plan for at least two to four weeks between the LCA filing and your new start date.
