Maersk in Joplin, MO is seeking a Driver Manager for the Heavy-Bulky Delivery Services site to onboard, train and manage delivery associates on safety, equipment and performance. This hands-on, on-site role ensures associates are safe, capable and productive from day one and throughout their tenure.

Responsibilities include hands-on certification, in-home delivery training, and coaching, with emphasis on DOT rules, safety, and accurate training records.

Qualifications

• Time on a delivery truck in heavy-bulky or appliance delivery is the key qualification.
• Appliance and heavy-bulky installation experience including in-home delivery.
• Experience onboarding, certifying or training commercial drivers.
• Working knowledge of DOT regulations and hours of service.
• Valid driver's license and acceptable motor vehicle record; able to operate a box truck.

• Train associates on appliance and heavy-bulky delivery execution, including in-home handling, product and property protection, assembly, and customer interaction.
• Train associates on the handheld and delivery application, confirming competency rather than attendance.
• Train and reinforce DOT rules and regulations, hours of service, and pre-trip and post-trip inspection.
• Own safety, damage prevention and claims prevention for the employee delivery teams at the site.
• Manage day-to-day performance of the delivery associates: coaching, ride-alongs, corrective action and retention.
• Maintain the training and certification record for every associate, so status is evidenced rather than remembered.
• Own tool, uniform, handheld and equipment readiness for the delivery teams.
• Partner with site leadership and recruiting on candidate evaluation, interviewing and pipeline for the delivery teams.
