• Technical Prowess: Strong technical aptitude with the ability to quickly understand complex software/hardware systems, read data logs, and interface intelligently with engineering teams.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; capable of delivering clear directives to drivers and presenting operational metrics to leadership.
• Analytical Mindset: Data-driven approach to solving operational problems and optimizing fleet efficiency.
• Flexibility & Travel: Willingness to travel extensively and spend considerable time in the cab of a Class 8 truck to maintain a pulse on field operations.
