- Collect, organize, validate, and analyze transportation and fleet data.
- Research and support pilot projects involving telematics, AI-enabled yard or container tracking, route optimization, and related technologies.
- Summarize findings and translate analysis into practical recommendations for safety, visibility, cost, or efficiency.
- Create clear process maps, standard work documents, dashboards, and presentations for transportation leaders.
- Collaborate with your team, ask thoughtful questions, and follow through on commitments.
- Perform other duties and project work as assigned.
