About The Position

As our Chief Fleet Officer (Fleet Leader), you aren’t just a manager—you are the CEO of everything on wheels.

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.

Requirements

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.

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.
