Full job description

Description

If you're the type of person who enjoys solving problems, leading people, and keeping operations running smoothly, this could be an excellent opportunity to take the next step in your transportation, logistics, or supply chain career.

We're partnering with an established transportation operation seeking a Transportation Operations Supervisor to support a team of drivers and help ensure day-to-day operations stay organized, safe, and on schedule. This is a highly visible role that combines leadership, communication, customer interaction, and operational oversight.

No two days look exactly the same. One moment you may be coaching a driver, the next you may be helping resolve a delivery issue, adjusting schedules, or working through a customer request to keep operations moving efficiently.

Onsite, 2nd Shift Schedule

What You'll Do

  • Lead and support a team of professional drivers in a fast-paced transportation environment.

  • Serve as a key point of contact for drivers, customers, and internal stakeholders.

  • Coordinate schedules, deliveries, and daily transportation activities.

  • Monitor operational performance and proactively address issues that could impact service.

  • Coach team members on safety standards, performance expectations, and best practices.

  • Investigate and resolve challenges related to routes, equipment, schedules, and customer needs.

  • Build strong working relationships with drivers while fostering a culture of accountability and support.

  • Partner with leadership to improve efficiency, service levels, and overall operational performance.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Opportunity to make a direct impact on daily transportation operations.

  • Blend of leadership, logistics, problem-solving, and customer service responsibilities.

  • Supportive team environment with training and development opportunities.

  • Strong emphasis on safety, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

If you enjoy leading teams, thinking on your feet, and being the person others rely on to keep things moving, we'd love to hear from you.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in transportation, logistics, dispatch, fleet coordination, supply chain, or operations.

  • Previous leadership, supervisory, or team lead experience would help you standout.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust with employees and customers.

  • Confidence making decisions in a fast-moving environment.

  • Ability to prioritize multiple responsibilities and adapt to changing business needs.

  • A customer-focused mindset and commitment to safety.

Candidates with experience in any of the following areas are encouraged to apply:

  • Fleet Operations

  • Transportation Supervision

  • Dispatch Leadership

  • Logistics Coordination

  • Supply Chain Operations

  • Driver Management

  • Transportation Planning

  • Operations Management
