Job Description:

BrainWorks is partnering with a $2B+ distributor and manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial equipment to place a Director of Logistics & Transportation. This newly created role is designed to centralize, modernize, and scale statewide logistics operations supporting 20+ branch locations across Georgia. The organization moves a high daily volume of parts, rental equipment, and new machines, primarily within Georgia, with some out-of-state and international freight. Following years of strong, sustained growth, leadership is investing in a senior logistics leader who can bring structure, governance, and performance discipline to a historically decentralized environment. This role owns both the strategy and execution of logistics and transportation functions, with a mandate to build a scalable operating model and lead a multi-year transition toward a more centralized network across divisions.

Job Responsibility:

  • Centralizing logistics and transportation operations across divisions
  • Optimizing utilization of trucks, drivers, rental assets, and third-party carriers
  • Designing and executing a long-term transportation and distribution strategy
  • Building leadership structure, accountability, and performance metrics
  • Partnering closely with fleet, safety, compliance, rental, parts, branch leadership, and OEM suppliers
  • Create, sell, and execute a comprehensive logistics and transportation strategy
  • Centralize logistics operations statewide or regionally to improve asset utilization, service levels, and cost efficiency
  • Design scalable operating models to support growth across rentals, parts, and new equipment
  • Build and execute a 3–5 year roadmap to bring additional transportation capabilities in-house
  • Oversee daily movement of parts, rental equipment, and new machines across the network
  • Optimize routing, dispatch, load planning, and delivery schedules for both equipment and parts freight
  • Apply regulatory requirements, hours-of-service rules, and equipment constraints to drive safe and efficient operations
  • Balance owned fleet capacity with 3PLs, brokers, and independent contractors
  • Lead carrier selection, negotiation, performance management, and cost control
  • Reduce fragmentation and over-reliance on third-party haulers through smarter asset planning
  • Evaluate independent contractor management models and recommend best-fit solutions
  • Partner closely with fleet, safety, and compliance leaders to ensure alignment
  • Lead and develop a growing team of transportation managers, supervisors, coordinators, drivers, and dispatch
  • Establish KPIs, performance standards, and accountability across the function
  • Build a leadership bench capable of scaling with the business
  • Assess, select, and implement transportation and logistics systems
  • Establish dashboards and reporting to track cost, service, safety, and productivity
  • Analyze operational challenges and implement practical, data-driven solutions
  • Manage budgets, forecasting, audits, and operational reviews
  • Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local transportation regulations
  • Oversee the safe execution of all freight movements
  • Develop risk mitigation and contingency plans to ensure continuity of supply

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Logistics, Supply Chain, or related field required
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in logistics and transportation, including senior leadership
  • Proven success building or transforming multi-site logistics organizations, not just operating within them
  • Experience managing mixed transportation models (owned fleet, 3PLs, brokers, contractors)
  • Demonstrated ability to lead change, influence stakeholders, and drive execution
  • Analytical mindset with strong systems, metrics, and process orientation
  • Executive presence with excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Self-starter mentality with an owner’s mindset

Nice to have:

  • Master’s degree or MBA
  • Experience in heavy equipment, rental, industrial distribution, or field service environments
  • Working knowledge of DOT regulations and heavy equipment transportation
  • Experience centralizing decentralized operations across multiple locations
What we offer:
  • Competitive compensation with bonus potential
  • 401(k) with strong company match and profit sharing
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid holidays and personal time off
  • Wellness and financial wellness programs
  • Ongoing training and career development
  • Relocation assistance available for candidates outside North Georgia
