ABOUT THE ROLE

As our Chief Fleet Officer (Fleet Leader), you aren’t just a manager—you are the CEO of everything on wheels. You won’t just fix what’s broken; you’ll analyze Total Cost of Ownership like a pro, scout and procure our next generation of vehicles, and lead the charge in implementing a state-of-the-art Fleet Management System. You’ll head up a specialized team, a Maintenance Coordinator and Fleet Admin to ensure that while we’re moving our products and people for a smarter, safer, and more cost-effective fleet for tomorrow. 

Responsibilities 

• The Fleet Visionary: You aren’t just buying trucks; you’re building a legacy. You’ll analyze the Total Cost of Ownership for every rig—from the smallest pickup to the biggest CDL beast—deciding when to repair, when to retire, and when to go shiny and new.
• The Software Sensei: You’ll lead the charge in implementing and training the team on a new Fleet Management Software. You’re the one who turns "data" into "delivery wins."
• Chief Procurement Officer: You’ll be the master negotiator, scouting the best vehicles and equipment to keep our building supplies moving. You know how to spec a truck so it handles product and team members like a dream.
• Risk & Compliance Guard Dog: You’ll keep our fleet squeaky clean in the eyes of the DOT. From CDL driver files to safety audits, you make sure "Risk" is a four-letter word we never have to worry about.
• The Pit Crew Captain: You’ll mentor and lead your Dynamic Duo—the Maintenance Coordinator and Fleet Admin—ensuring they have the tools and the "why" behind every task.
• Efficiency Architect: You’ll look for the "leaks" in our budget (fuel, idle time, insurance) and plug them with smart, data-driven solutions.

Skills & Qualifications

• Big Picture Brain: You can zoom out to look at a 5-year replacement plan and zoom in to understand a suspicious maintenance invoice.
• Tech-Savvy & Training-Ready: You don't just use software; you master it. You have the patience and the "coach mentality" to help our team embrace new digital tools.
• Lumber-Grade Logistics: You understand that 75 CDL vehicles are a different breed of animal. You know the weight limits, the air brakes, and the grit required for building supply delivery.
• Negotiation Ninja: Whether you're talking to a dealership, an insurance broker, or a software vendor, you know how to get the most "bang for our buck."
• Crisis Commando: When a truck breaks down on a bridge or a compliance deadline looms, you stay as calm as a frozen lake. You solve problems; you don't just report them.
• Data Translator: You can take a messy spreadsheet of fuel costs and turn it into a clear, "here’s how we save $50k" story for the Leadership team.
