Miller Leith recruits Chain of Responsibility (CoR) and transport safety compliance professionals who help organisations manage legal accountability, operational risk and safety outcomes across transport and logistics activities. We partner with organisations where executives, schedulers, loaders, consignors and contractors all carry legal obligations, and where failures in systems, decisions or controls can result in serious safety incidents and regulatory consequences.
Our CoR and transport safety recruitment is led within our broader HSE practice by Ramtin Parvar, whose decade-long focus on HSE recruitment brings a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, operational risk and organisational accountability. This leadership ensures our advice is grounded in real compliance environments and the operational realities transport organisations face.
CoR extends responsibility well beyond drivers and operators. We recruit professionals who understand how accountability operates in practice, embedding compliance into transport operations without disrupting productivity or commercial outcomes.
Leadership-Led CoR & Transport Safety Recruitment
Chain of Responsibility intersects transport operations, safety, risk, legal and governance functions. Our networks reflect this complexity.
We maintain access to a network of more than 5,000 HSE and compliance professionals, including transport safety managers, CoR specialists, compliance leads and senior advisors working across road, rail, logistics, infrastructure and supply-chain-dependent industries. These relationships give us direct insight into how CoR responsibilities are assigned, where accountability breaks down and how organisations are responding to increasing enforcement and regulatory scrutiny.
Many organisations engage us as long-term advisors when building or reshaping transport safety capability, recognising the importance of credibility, judgement and consistency in roles where legal and safety obligations are deeply intertwined.
Understanding CoR & Transport Safety Leadership
Leaders responsible for CoR and transport safety must influence decisions made well beyond their direct control. They are required to ensure that commercial pressures, scheduling demands and contractor arrangements do not compromise safety or legal compliance.
We understand the complexity of these roles, including managing third-party risk, contractor oversight, due diligence obligations and regulator engagement. Our recruitment approach focuses on capability that can translate legal requirements into practical, defensible operating practices.
Embedded in Transport Safety & Compliance Practice
Our insight is strengthened through Ramtin's active engagement with transport safety and compliance communities, keeping our knowledge current across regulatory reform, enforcement trends and emerging risk areas in road and transport safety legislation.
By staying closely connected to practice, not just legislation, we ensure our recruitment advice reflects how CoR obligations are applied, audited and enforced in real operating environments.
How CoR & Transport Safety Roles Are Evolving
CoR roles are becoming more senior, more visible and more accountable. Organisations increasingly expect these professionals to provide assurance to executives, support due diligence obligations and proactively prevent safety and compliance failures before they occur.
We support organisations seeking CoR capability that is embedded, commercially aware and able to withstand regulatory scrutiny.
