Are you a natural leader with a passion for keeping things moving smoothly? We’re looking for an Operations Manager to take charge of daily dock operations in our Dartmouth Terminal. In this key role, you’ll oversee the flow of equipment and freight, build strong team relationships, and ensure we’re delivering exceptional service every step of the way.

You’ll play a hands-on role in driving performance, quality, and safety—all while keeping costs efficient and customers satisfied.

  • Partner with Regional Managers and Dispatch to plan staffing and equipment needs.
  • Ensure compliance with safety standards, training, and regulatory requirements.

What You Bring
  • 5+ years in transportation, logistics, or a related field (education/certifications like CITT are a plus).
  • 2+ years of terminal supervisory experience.
  • Proven leadership skills with the ability to inspire and develop your team.
  • Strong decision-making, problem-solving, and time management skills.
  • Tech-savvy with Microsoft Office (TruckMate experience an asset).
  • Knowledge of the road transportation industry including Atlantic Canadian geography is an asset.

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7am – 5pm with flexibility to support weekends, evenings, or holidays when needed.

Why Join Us?
This is more than just an operations role—it’s your chance to make an impact on a fast-paced, growing team where your leadership will shape success every day. We offer a dynamic environment, the opportunity to collaborate across departments, and the satisfaction of knowing you’re keeping freight and equipment moving for customers who count on us.
