With 750+ dedicated team members—over 550 of them on the road—we deliver safe, reliable, and efficient service around the clock.

About the Role

We're seeking an experienced and motivated leader to guide, support, and inspire our Tow Truck Operator workforce (both employees and contractors). This role is pivotal in driving performance, ensuring compliance, achieving service KPIs, and supporting growth—all while delivering outstanding customer outcomes.

  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to deliver seamless, customer-first experiences.
  • Monitor performance data, interpret insights, and implement initiatives that lift service delivery and business results.

About You

You're a confident and capable leader with proven experience in contractor management and transport operations. With a balance of strategic thinking and hands-on leadership, you know how to build high-performing teams, exceed customer expectations, and make systems work smarter.

What you'll bring:

  • Demonstrated experience managing contractors or field teams (transport, logistics, or service industries ideal).
  • Strong coaching and mentoring skills.
  • Solid knowledge of safety compliance, KPIs, and cost-performance management.
  • Proven ability to build trusted relationships with contractors and stakeholders.
  • Analytical mindset with a knack for turning data into action.
  • Excellent communication, influencing, and problem-solving skills.
  • A collaborative, outcomes-focused approach.
