 Ensure compliance with DOT, OSHA, EPA, and medical waste transportation regulations.
 </li>
 <li>
 Build and manage fleet and supply chain budgets while establishing KPIs for cost control, vendor performance, and risk mitigation.

 <li>
 Influence field leadership to adopt standardized national practices and build the future-state supply chain organization as value is demonstrated.
 </li>
 <li>
 Deliver measurable cost savings, improved uptime, and standardized operational performance across all locations.

 Requirements
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Bachelor&rsquo;s degree in Supply chain, Business, Logistics, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
 </li>
 <li>
 8-12+ years of progressive experience in supply chain, procurement, fleet, or operational leadership
