This individual should have the technical expertise to support technicians, the leadership ability to build a high‑performing team, and the organizational skills to keep a busy fleet operating safely and efficiently. Success in this role requires someone who can balance hands‑on problem solving with strategic planning while maintaining a strong focus on safety, quality, and operational excellence.
