Complete and maintain required administrative records accurately and within established deadlines. Monitor required vehicle inspections, maintenance intervals, documentation, and other compliance-related requirements.

Work closely with leadership to ensure fleet processes align with current Amazon requirements. Maintain a high level of attention to detail when working within Amazon's technology platforms and other fleet-management systems. Technology & Administrative Responsibilities Demonstrate strong computer and technology skills and be comfortable working extensively with fleet-management software, Amazon systems, spreadsheets, databases, email, mobile applications, and other digital tools.

Balance immediate vehicle issues with long-term preventative maintenance requirements. Prioritize repairs based on safety, operational impact, route commitments, and vehicle availability. Communicate quickly and effectively with Operations, Dispatch, drivers, management, and vendors. React to unexpected breakdowns, accidents, vehicle defects, or other emergencies while continuing to manage scheduled fleet responsibilities. Anticipate problems before they affect the operation and take proactive corrective action. Maintain composure and accuracy in a high-pressure, deadline-driven environment. Ensure fleet-related tasks are completed on time without allowing administrative requirements to interfere with daily vehicle readiness.
