Shift Supervisor - Night Shift

Job description

The Shift Supervisor manages the people and truck side of daily operations, shift by shift. You are the on-the-ground supervisor who makes sure our trucks are compliant, our crews meet the standard that autonomous vehicle operations demand, and every mission leaves and lands safely. On night shift you are a senior leader on site: you run the shift, coach in real time, manage crew fatigue, and hand off a clean, complete picture to day shift every morning. This role carries direct reports.

Waabi is building generative AI for the physical world, starting with autonomous trucks. Our Texas road operations run both R&D testing and revenue freight out of our Lancaster terminal, and we are standing…

Job responsibilities

  • Manage end-to-end night shift operations for Vehicle Operators and Fleet Specialists, partnering with Dispatch to assign work, execute testing missions, complete commercial runs, and meet Waabi and customer KPIs.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of Vehicle Operators, including performance, development, scheduling and time off requests, and corrective action.
  • Uphold Waabi safety and compliance standards in the terminal and in the field, and enforce accuracy on tractor and trailer pre-trip inspections, post-trip Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports, and Enhanced Inspection…
  • Evaluate crew performance through direct observation, remote monitoring, ride-alongs, and safety event review, and deliver real-time coaching and corrective action.
  • Actively manage crew fatigue — enforce rest and meal periods, adjust assignments when someone is not fit for duty, and escalate patterns before they become incidents.
  • Own personnel-to-vehicle assignments in partnership with Dispatch and the Vehicle Operations and Test Operations Leads, accounting for platform qualification, certification tier, and Hours of Service.
  • Build, document, and own the night-to-day shift handoff so open issues, truck status, and unfinished work carry forward cleanly.
  • Serve as the on-site escalation point for in-field and terminal issues, initiate incident response, and escalate Priority and Critical events alongside Dispatch.
