About the Role
The Grey Barn is looking for a hands-on Fleet, Equipment & Yard Supervisor to own the readiness, organization, and maintenance tracking of our vehicles, trailers, landscaping equipment, shop, and yard, so crews show up every morning and go straight to work without wondering if the truck's ready or where the trimmer is.

Compensation
$52,000 base salary, plus up to $8,000 per year in performance bonuses tied to fleet and equipment readiness, preventive maintenance compliance, organization, safety, and reduced downtime.

- Track service intervals, inspections, registrations, and coordinate repairs with outside vendors
- Own readiness of landscaping equipment, including mowers, trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, hand tools, and batteries, including basic in-house repairs
- Conduct recurring safety inspections and pull unsafe vehicles or equipment from service immediately
- Keep the shop labeled, organized, and stocked with common parts and supplies
- Track and organize yard and material inventory, including plants, sod, mulch, soil, and irrigation materials
- Support morning crew readiness and evening equipment return and storage
- Hold crews accountable for equipment cleanliness and proper storage
- Help maintain organized office records, including registrations, insurance, warranties, and service documentation
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in fleet, equipment, warehouse, yard, facilities, construction, or landscaping operations

Strongly Preferred
- Commercial landscaping, fleet management, or construction/field-service experience
- Small-engine or automotive maintenance experience
- Skid steer or forklift experience
- Experience building preventive maintenance programs
- GPS/fleet tracking or maintenance management software experience
Core Values and Mindset
Have Fun
This is a hands-on, people-facing operation. You will spend your week working alongside crews, coordinating with vendors, and keeping the shop and yard running. Bring energy to it.
Try New Things Fast
If an organizational system or maintenance process is not working, change the approach this week, not next quarter. Test it, keep what works, drop what does not.
Best in the World
We are not trying to run the loosest operation in Northwest Arkansas. We are trying to be the one crews can count on every morning. Study what breaks down or goes missing, and get sharper at preventing it.
Put in the Work
The unsexy part is the job: the early start, the inspection nobody asked for, the shop cleanup at the end of a long day. The system does not build itself and it does not care how you feel about Mondays.
Hold Accountability
Own the equipment and own the miss. If something breaks down that should have been caught, say so early. If a crew is not returning equipment properly, address it directly instead of quietly cleaning up after them.
Bilingual
Spanish/English bilingual is a strong plus. A significant portion of the field workforce speaks Spanish.
Who Will Do Well Here
- Notices when things are out of place and fixes problems before being asked
- Comfortable holding crews accountable
- Prefers preventing breakdowns over explaining them
- Works from a checklist without needing one
- Treats company equipment like it's their own
