Fleet Operations, Logistics & Refurbishment Manager

Fleet Operations, Logistics & Asset Refurbishment Manager

Modular Building Construction | Fleet & Logistics Operations

Position Summary

Modular Building Systems International (MBSI) is a Central Florida-based provider of prefabricated and modular buildings serving commercial, education, healthcare, and government clients across the Southeast.

The Fleet Operations, Logistics & Asset Refurbishment Manager serves as the operational nerve center for MBSI’s modular building fleet — overseeing the full lifecycle of every asset from return to the yard through refurbishment, redeployment, and transport scheduling. This hands-on leadership role combines fleet logistics management, modular building refurbishment oversight, production scheduling, and operational quality control.

The ideal candidate is equal parts field inspector, logistics coordinator, scheduler, and inventory steward — someone who thrives at the intersection of physical assets, operational precision, and construction execution. This role requires deep command of modular building systems, fleet operations, MEP systems, and multi-project logistics coordination.

Core Responsibilities

Fleet Return, Inspection & Refurbishment Management

• Conduct walk-through and punch-out inspections on all buildings returning to the yard; document damage, deficiencies, and missing components with photographic evidence.
• Manage the in-yard refurbishment process for modular assets, overseeing structural, electrical, mechanical, and aesthetic upgrades.
• Perform comprehensive inspections throughout remediation work to ensure all repairs and upgrades meet MBSI standards.
• Coordinate with repair crews, yard operators, and subcontractors on all refurbishment activities; verify workmanship before final sign-off.
• Ensure all returned units are properly positioned, cleaned, sealed, and prepared for refurbishment and redeployment.
• Tag and certify buildings as deployment-ready upon successful completion of repairs, inspections, and quality checks.

Development & Repair Management

• Author detailed scopes of work (SOWs) for returned buildings, specifying all required repairs, replacements, cleaning tasks, and refurbishment requirements.
• Track and manage yard inventory of repair materials, tools, consumables, and replacement components; forecast replenishment needs to prevent project delays.
• Coordinate sequencing and prioritization of refurbishment projects to maximize fleet utilization and operational efficiency.
• Monitor refurbishment material costs, labor efficiency, and operational KPIs.

Fleet Operations & Logistics Management

• Direct daily yard and fleet operations including driver dispatch, yard layout optimization, asset tracking, and inventory movement.
• Build and maintain MBSI’s master Global Schedule encompassing:
• building returns
• outbound deployments
• refurbishment projects
• fabrication projects
• active service calls
• Coordinate transport schedules to align yard refurbishment timelines, customer delivery commitments, and field deployment schedules.
• Manage reverse logistics activities and coordinate building breakdown/return activities with detailed site reporting prior to tear-down.
• Source, vet, and negotiate rates with third-party heavy-haul carriers to support overflow transportation capacity.
• Oversee preventive maintenance scheduling for commercial fleet assets and transportation equipment.

Asset Tracking & Inventory Control

• Maintain real-time tracking of all MBSI assets regardless of location — in yard, at client site, in transit, or under service.
• Maintain accurate inventory records for repair parts, materials, and fleet-related assets.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing asset performance data, repair history, fleet utilization trends, and operational bottlenecks.

Building Code Compliance & Quality Assurance

• Ensure all refurbished units conform to Florida Building Code (FBC) and applicable modular construction standards prior to deployment.
• Coordinate required third-party inspections and quality assurance reviews as necessary.
• Maintain compliance with applicable building codes, safety standards, and operational procedures across all asset conditions.
