About The Position

Airgas is seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented Distribution Manager to join our Greenville team. While your title is Distribution Manager, your "mission control" focus is the daily orchestration of our distribution engine. You will be the primary architect of our delivery routes and the direct leader for our driving team. In this role, you bridge the gap between complex logistics and superior customer service. You’ll ensure our trucks are moving efficiently while maintaining a "safety-first" culture. Additionally, you serve as the Branch Manager’s right hand, stepping in to lead the full site operations in their absence.

Responsibilities

Dynamic Route Engineering: Daily oversight of route planning to ensure maximum stops and fuel efficiency. You will pivot routes in real-time to accommodate emergency "hot-shot" deliveries or vehicle breakdowns.
Fleet Performance Analytics: Utilize routing software to analyze driver behavior, idle times, and off-route miles to drive down operational costs.
Driver Lifecycle Management: Lead the "Morning Kickoff"—conducting safety briefings, verifying manifests, and ensuring every driver is dispatched with a clear, optimized plan.
Regulatory Command: Maintain 100% "audit-ready" status for all DOT filings, ELD (Electronic Logging Device) logs, and Hazmat shipping papers.
Equipment Readiness: Coordinate with the maintenance shop to schedule PMs (Preventative Maintenance) so that the Greenville fleet maintains maximum uptime.
Command Continuity: Act as the Acting Branch Manager in the manager's absence, overseeing the warehouse, counter sales, and P&L (Profit & Loss) integrity.
Safety Culture: Lead the branch's "Safety First" initiative, ensuring that the handling of high-pressure cylinders and cryogenic liquids is performed with zero compromises.
