Job Description:

We are seeking a highly responsible and technically grounded Transport & Facility Officer to lead our operational logistics and premises management in Idu, Abuja.

This role is designed for an "Operational Anchor", a professional with at least 3 years of experience who can blend the "Field Grit" of fleet management with the structural rigor required to maintain a complex facility.

Your mission is to ensure "Zero-Downtime Logistics and Absolute Asset Protection." You will be the primary steward of our mobility and infrastructure: responsible for managing a fleet of trucks, motorcycles, and generators, while serving as the line manager for the driving team.

• Logistical Coordination: Partner with all Heads of Departments to schedule transport requirements, optimize vehicle movement, and maintain surgical accuracy in vehicle logbooks and fuel usage data.

2. Infrastructure Resilience & Utility Oversight

• Facility Continuity: Oversee the day-to-day operations of all facility services, ensuring that critical infrastructure—including power (generators), AC systems, and buildings—functions without interruption.

• Preventive Maintenance: Monitor and enforce strict maintenance schedules for all company assets, moving from "Reactive Repair" to "Proactive Prevention" to minimize business impact.

• Vendor Management: Supervise external contractors and internal technical staff during installations and repairs, ensuring quality control and cost-efficiency.
