The Director of Transportation is a high-impact leadership opportunity to build and scale a transportation operation that supports Power Design's growth across the country. The Director will lead the expansion of our private fleet from 5 to 30+ units, implement best-in-class transportation systems, and develop a strong team focused on safe, reliable, and efficient delivery. If you're energized by growth, process improvement, and developing people this is the role.

Position Responsibilities :

  • Lead and scale Power Design's private fleet from 5 to 30+ units, including equipment planning, purchasing, maintenance, routing, dispatching, and scheduling for nationwide deliveries.
  • Ensure all fleet and driver operations meet DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, and Power Design safety standards while managing CDL and non-CDL drivers with a focus on training, performance, compliance, and retention.
  • Develop and maintain standard operating procedures, safety programs, and driver incentive plans that support service, efficiency, and retention.
  • Manage all outbound freight across LTL, FTL, flatbed, and parcel modes, and negotiate rates, contracts, and service agreements with carriers and logistics partners.
  • Implement and optimize Oracle Fusion TMS and telematics systems, track key performance metrics (cost per mile, utilization, on-time delivery, fleet profitability), and drive continuous process improvement.
  • Build and mentor a high-performing transportation team, manage annual budgets and cost-saving initiatives, and collaborate with field and project teams to align transportation schedules to project priorities.

Here's What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's in Logistics, Supply Chain, Transportation, Business, or related field (MBA preferred) with 10+ years in transportation / fleet management, including 5+ years leading teams.
  • Proven track record scaling private fleets, managing third-party carriers, and owning full P&L responsibility.
  • Deep knowledge of DOT / FMCSA compliance, driver safety programs, and equipment management.
  • Experienced with TMS platforms (Oracle preferred) and telematics / fleet management systems.
  • Strong leadership and team-building skills, with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and financial performance.
  • Strategic thinker with hands-on operational execution.
  • Skilled in developing KPIs, dashboards, cost-control systems, and driving profitability.
  • Benefits and Perks :

  • Competitive salaries
  • Cutting-edge headquarters with an on-campus caf, fitness center, game room with golf simulator, electric scooters, lake with running path, training facility, and tobacco-free campus
  • Exciting, award-winning workplace culture focused on employee appreciation, recognition, and fun
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance offered
  • Short and long-term disability plans
  • 401k with company matching and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) options available
  • Paid time off and company holidays provided
  • Discounts to a variety of services, mental and physical wellness resources, free Care.com memberships, and other perks given to all Power Design team members
  • At Power Design, we are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and teammates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
