Fleet Manager in Sterling Heights

Full-Time | $30.00 — $35.00 per hour |
Paid Weekly

We are an independent, locally owned Amazon Delivery Service Partner (the "Company") based in Sterling Heights, Michigan, operating a fleet of more than 80 delivery vehicles — Ford Transits, Ram Pro Masters, step vans, and Rivian electric delivery vans — that put 100+ drivers on the road across Macomb and Oakland County every day.

We are hiring a Fleet Manager to own the health, availability, and cost of that fleet.
This is a hands-on leadership role, not a desk job. You will spend your day between the yard, the fleet software, the phone with our mobile mechanics and repair shops, and the dispatch office — making sure every route that needs a van has one that is safe, road-ready, and compliant.

The right person has managed a fleet of this size (or close to it) before, is comfortable turning a wrench on the small stuff, and knows how to keep vendors, repair orders, and vehicle status organized when 80+ vehicles are cycling in and out of service.

We are looking for someone who wants to grow with the Company and build the fleet program as we scale.

Fleet Availability & Daily Operations
