Job Description:

We are seeking a high-velocity and field-oriented Fleet Supervisor to anchor our logistics operations across multiple business locations. In the complex world of heavy-duty trucking, success is defined by "Throughput Fidelity", the ability to harmonize vehicle dispatch, driver discipline, and real-time incident recovery into a seamless engine of efficiency. This role is designed for a "Hands-on Field Architect" with 4–7 years of experience who can blend "Rigorous Safety Governance" with the "Operational Grit" required to manage high-volume loading and offloading activities in real time.

Your mission is to ensure "Zero-Friction Dispatch and Absolute Asset Accountability." You will be the primary steward of the fleet’s performance: responsible for monitoring truck turnaround times, enforcing driver compliance, and acting as the first responder to operational disruptions. If you possess "Exceptional Leadership Grit," a background in Transport Management, and a preference for field-based action over office-based administration, we want you to lead our logistics execution.

Requirements:

1. Field Orchestration & Movement Mastery

• Dispatch Sovereignty: Provide active on-field supervision of truck movements, ensuring that loading and offloading cycles align perfectly with operational schedules.

• Turnaround Optimization: Track fleet utilization and turnaround times (TAT), identifying and eliminating bottlenecks at loading points and delivery destinations.

• Asset Tracking: Ensure vehicles operate strictly within approved routes and schedules, taking immediate corrective action against unauthorized diversions.

2. Driver Governance & Behavioral Discipline

• Workforce Stewardship: Supervise drivers to ensure total compliance with company policies, monitoring attendance, punctuality, and adherence to professional standards.

• Safety Enforcement: Act as the guardian of road safety, conducting regular compliance checks and ensuring drivers possess valid licenses and operational permits.

• Conflict & Disciplinary Management: Address driver-related issues with firmness and fairness, escalating disciplinary matters to ensure a high-discipline culture.

3. Documentation Integrity & Incident Recovery

• Waybill Sovereignty: Verify and ensure 100% accuracy in trip documentation, including waybills, trip sheets, delivery confirmations, and vehicle inspection reports.

• Incident Response: Act as the primary lead for operational emergencies—including breakdowns, accidents, or delivery disruptions—coordinating recovery efforts in real time.

• Performance Intelligence: Provide high-fidelity daily updates and reports on fleet metrics, ensuring management has an accurate view of on-ground activities.

Qualifications and Skills:

Professional Profile

• Education: Minimum of OND, HND, or B.Sc. in Logistics, Transport Management, or a related field.

• Experience: 4–7 years of robust experience in fleet supervision or logistics operations, specifically involving trucking and driver management.

• Operational Bias: A distinct preference for field-based work and on-ground problem-solving.

Core Competencies

• Leadership Prowess: Strong ability to manage and motivate a large group of drivers across multiple locations.

• Problem-Solving Grit: Capability to make rapid, high-stakes decisions under pressure when responding to accidents or delays.

• Administrative Accuracy: High level of discipline in maintaining accurate records and reporting on operational performance.
