About the Role
We're seeking an experienced Operations Supervisor to support daily transportation operations at our St. Louis, MO location. Reporting directly to the Location Manager, you'll oversee front-line supervisory teams, ensure operational excellence, and drive performance across all key operational areas. This role is critical to maintaining service quality, team development, and customer satisfaction while supporting the location's strategic goals and growth initiatives.
What Makes You Successful in This Role
You're a hands-on leader who thrives in the controlled chaos of daily operations. You know how to balance competing priorities without losing sight of safety, service quality, and team morale. You're a problem-solver who takes ownership and finds solutions rather than excuses. You build trust with your team through consistency, fairness, and genuine investment in their success. You're comfortable working in the field, whether coaching a supervisor through a tough conversation, troubleshooting a route issue, or jumping in to support operations when needed. You communicate clearly up, down, and across the organization, keeping everyone informed and aligned. You understand that operational excellence comes from empowering your team rather than micromanaging them, and you take pride in seeing your people grow and succeed.
