What You’ll Do:

Own the maintenance function at Landline with the plan, vendors and data for our fleet, with a path to scaling to support a 100-motorcoach fleet in the future
Build and maintain a rolling maintenance forecast aligned to OEM intervals and usage patterns, keeping every vehicle within OEM PM intervals
Maintain the maintenance budget with Finance, including updates and variance reporting
Coordinate unscheduled and corrective maintenance without disrupting service operations
Keep accurate service records in Fleetio and Samsara; track DVIR resolution and escalate out-of-service conditions to System Operations Control (SOC - Dispatch)
Manage parts and consumables procurement and validate pass-through costs from our maintenance partners
Flag recurring issues or vehicles approaching end of useful life using maintenance data
Serve as Landline's representative for all work at external maintenance facilities; issue work orders to fully utilize dedicated resources
Schedule all planned and unplanned work and ensure buses are positioned on time
Review and approve partner invoices, flag discrepancies, and track overflow technician usage against budget
Plan and conduct quarterly reviews with key maintenance vendors
Give the SOC and leadership a real-time view of fleet readiness (operational, in maintenance, or out of service) and communicate constraints proactively
Own Fleetio and Samsara as key user, including partner access and IT interfaces
Plan and manage vehicle assignments, identify capacity risks in advance, and support planning for additions, retirements, and configuration
Maintain vehicle files (registration, insurance, inspections, warranties)
Serve as primary contact with OEM reps; manage warranty claims and authorizations and coordinate technician training
Track Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), service bulletins, and recalls and ensure timely action; advise leadership on OEM reliability and procurement
Provide the SOC advance notice of maintenance windows, report unplanned outages with return-to-service estimates, and collaborate on scheduling trade-offs
Ensure federal, state, and local compliance and timely inspections; keep audit-ready records and report KPIs (MTBF, out-of-service days, cost per vehicle)

What We’re Looking For:

5-10 years of experience in transportation operations, logistics, aviation, fleet operations, or operations-focused consulting including transportations, or a similar field
A degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Supply Chain, a related field or equivalent hands-on experience in a transportation logistics and/or operations environment
Strong data and analytical skills (Excel required; SQL, Python, or BI tools like Tableau/Power BI a plus)
Comfort using and recommending AI tools (e.g. Claude Code or similar) to move quickly across a diverse and shifting set of projects
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work with frontline hourly staff
A high-energy, self-directed approach and enthusiasm for solving operational problems in a fast-moving startup environment
Familiarity with Fleetio, Samsara, or similar fleet-management/telematics platforms is a strong plus
Comfort working remotely while collaborating across multiple locations and time zones
The ability to think "bigger" than any single function as someone who understands the balancing act between commercial, finance, and operations, and can design solutions that serve the whole business rather than optimizing for one group at another's expense
Six Sigma certification (Green Belt, Black Belt, etc.) is a nice-to-have
Comfort working remotely while collaborating across multiple locations and time zones

Perks & Benefits:

Medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) plan
