Transportation and logistics operator with 4,000+ employees across 200+ North American locations
Savage operates a sprawling logistics and transportation network built on a traditional enterprise stack (Oracle, Snowflake, Power BI, Dayforce) with recent technical pushes toward analytics automation (dbt, Apache Airflow) and AI tooling (GitHub Copilot). The hiring mix is heavily operations-focused (47 ops roles, 25 logistics) with only 5 engineering headcount, yet active projects signal a platform modernization effort: S7 delivery system implementation, enterprise integration platform rollout, and copilot agent development suggest the company is automating workflows and safety processes despite lean engineering capacity.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Cargo Chief Mate
