About this role:
As Fleet Manager, you will own the maintenance, compliance, and lifecycle of PlusAI's mixed fleet, spanning distinct vehicle types including autonomous Class 8 semi-trucks, passenger cars, and trailers.

Lead the internal Fleet Maintenance Committee to review emergent technical or mechanical issues, collaborating with AV hardware/software teams to determine the best course of action.

Continuously track FMCSA SAFER scoring, analyze trends, and immediately flag and remediate safety or compliance issues; manage the ELD system (Motive) and update the company's MCS-150 report annually.
