The Safety & Security Analyst/Advisor at Mid-South Transportation Management, Inc. supports executive leadership and key stakeholders with technical, analytical expertise across safety and security for the MATA transit system. This onsite role helps strengthen regulatory compliance and improves safety performance by turning safety and security data into actionable insights, reports, and corrective actions.

Analyze safety, security, operational, incident, accident, near-miss, injury, inspection, audit, and other performance data to identify trends, patterns, deficiencies, and emerging risks.
Create analytical reports, dashboards, trend analyses, performance measures, and management briefings to communicate safety and security conditions and recommend mitigation strategies.
Support hazard identification, risk assessments, threat assessments, vulnerability assessments, and root-cause analyses across transit operations, facilities, vehicles, equipment, infrastructure, employees, contractors, passengers, and other stakeholders.
Review accident, incident, and near-miss reports for completeness, accuracy, contributing factors, corrective actions, and potential systemic safety or security concerns.
Assist with safety and security investigations when assigned, producing professional investigative reports, findings, recommendations, and corrective-action plans.
Monitor corrective and preventive actions tied to investigations, audits, inspections, assessments, regulatory findings, and other safety and security activities to support timely resolution and documented closure.
Support administration and execution of MATA’s Internal Safety and Security Audit Program, including preparation, fieldwork, documentation, findings, corrective actions, follow-up, and closeout.
Evaluate departmental and contractor compliance with MATA policies, procedures, safety plans, security programs, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.
Research federal, state, and local safety, security, emergency management, and transportation requirements, then recommend how they may affect MATA operations.

Assist with emergency management, business continuity, emergency response, and service disruption plans from a safety and security perspective.
Support development and delivery of safety, security, emergency management, and regulatory compliance training and educational materials.
Act as a technical resource to managers and supervisors for safety reporting, incident documentation, hazard identification, risk mitigation, corrective actions, and regulatory requirements.
Review and help follow up on safety and security complaints, concerns, reports, and inquiries from employees, passengers, contractors, vendors, and other stakeholders.
Identify recurring safety and security issues and recommend systemic corrective actions, rather than focusing only on individual incident response.
Support the Chief Safety & Security Officer and Manager of Safety & Security with executive-level reports, presentations, briefings, special projects, and strategic safety and security initiatives.
Maintain confidential and sensitive safety, security, investigative, and regulatory information in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and MATA policies.
