We're partnering with an established leader in the transportation and automotive logistics industry that's looking to add a Maintenance Coordinator to its team in Plymouth, Michigan!

This is a great opportunity for someone who understands the mechanical side of transportation but wants to use that knowledge in a coordination-focused role.

You’ll be part of a collaborative team that keeps professional drivers moving, helps resolve unexpected mechanical challenges, and plays an important role in daily operations.

If you’re looking for a position where every day brings something different, your experience is valued, and there’s room to grow, this could be the opportunity for you!

What You’ll Be Doing

• Keep Drivers Moving: Coordinate emergency roadside repairs and maintenance services for heavy-duty trucks and specialized transportation equipment.

• Be the Problem Solver: Communicate with drivers, mechanics, vendors, and internal teams to resolve mechanical issues and minimize downtime.

• Coordinate Repairs: Arrange maintenance services, follow up on repair progress, and ensure equipment gets back on the road safely and efficiently.

• Support the Team: Work closely with operations and terminal personnel to coordinate solutions when equipment breaks down.

• Help Drivers Along the Way: Assist with transportation and lodging arrangements when unexpected breakdowns occur.

• Stay Organized: Maintain accurate records of repairs, service updates, and maintenance activities.

• Keep Everyone Informed: Provide detailed updates to drivers, maintenance teams, and incoming shifts to ensure a smooth transition of ongoing repairs.

• Make an Impact: Identify opportunities to improve processes, communication, and overall fleet efficiency.

What We’re Looking For

Ideal qualifications include:

• Experience working with heavy-duty trucks, diesel equipment, fleet maintenance, or coordinating vehicle repairs.

• Strong understanding of truck mechanical systems, particularly hydraulic systems.

• At least one year of relevant experience is preferred.

• Ability to troubleshoot problems and make decisions under pressure.

• Strong communication and organizational skills.

• Comfortable working with drivers, mechanics, vendors, and operations personnel.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the ability to learn maintenance management software.

• High school diploma or GED; technical or trade school experience is a plus.

• A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and team-first mentality.

Experience as a Diesel Technician, Fleet Maintenance Coordinator, Truck Service Advisor, Roadside Assistance Coordinator, or Maintenance Dispatcher could translate well into this opportunity!
