Last-Mile Delivery Station Manager – New Station Launch

LAST-MILE DELIVERY STATION MANAGER Oakvale LLC 217 Elliot Dixon Dr, Ayden, NC 28513 Greenville Area | Full-time | On-site ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY Oakvale LLC is preparing to launch a last-mile parcel delivery operation in cooperation with GOFO. We are seeking a hands-on Station Manager to build a reliable local driver team, organize daily operations, and lead the station through growth. You will work directly with company ownership to recruit drivers, manage morning dispatch, monitor delivery performance, and resolve operational problems. Initial volume is expected to be approximately 2,000–3,000 packages per day, with a target of approximately 5,000 packages per day within three months. Actual volumes will depend on launch timing and business conditions. WORK SCHEDULE & MANAGEMENT COVERAGE The station operates seven days per week, with morning operations beginning at 4:00 AM. During the initial launch period, before a trained backup manager is in place, the Station Manager is expected to work on-site seven days per week and arrive by 4:00 AM to organize sorting, confirm driver attendance, assign routes, and prepare the team for dispatch. As the team develops, the Station Manager may identify and train an Assistant Manager or qualified team lead to provide management coverage. Once that person can reliably manage operations independently, days off and rotating coverage can be arranged with company ownership. The timing will depend on staffing and operational readiness. Daily end times and expected working hours will be discussed during the interview.

Review proof of delivery (POD), investigate missing or incorrect documentation, and coordinate accurate corrections according to carrier requirements. Coach drivers on attendance, delivery quality, safety, and customer service. Identify and train an Assistant Manager or team lead who can manage the station during scheduled absences. Establish clear procedures and handoffs so operations remain reliable when responsibilities are delegated.
