The Fleet Manager acts as the connective tissue between Site Operations, Network Operations, Repair teams, and external hosting partners. The role also stewards fleet-wide ASIC inventory integrity, ensuring accurate tracking, reconciliation, and visibility of assets across self-mining sites, hosted facilities, repair pipelines, and logistics flows. The role is responsible for driving disciplined execution, standardization, and continuous improvement across the fleet, ensuring uptime, efficiency, and reliability targets are met at scale. The ideal candidate for this role brings strong communication and organizational skills, deep technical understanding of large-scale cryptocurrency mining operations, and a systems-oriented mindset. This role requires the ability to translate data into operational decisions, manage cross-functional initiatives, mitigate fleet-level risk, and ensure mining operations meet Fortitude Mining’s performance and cost objectives. This is a rare opportunity to shape and scale disciplined fleet operations as the company continues to grow. The Fleet Manager operates at the fleet level, partnering closely with site leadership and hosting providers to deliver consistent outcomes across a distributed operating footprint. This role includes periodic site visits to Fortitude-operated and hosted locations to validate ASIC inventory accuracy, audit adherence to fleet standards and SOPs, and support new site deployments and expansions. Primary Responsibilities Drive fleet-wide performance, reliability, and efficiency across all Fortitude-operated self-mining sites and third-party hosting providers. Lead and manage all aspects of the ASIC fleet as a system, ensuring consistent behavior, configuration, and outcomes across a distributed operating footprint. Define, standardize, and govern firmware, tuning profiles, power modes, and configuration baselines across the fleet. Steward fleet-wide ASIC inventory accuracy and asset lifecycle management, from deployment and commissioning through repair, RMA, redeployment, and retirement. Establish and maintain fleet-level repair and RMA strategies, prioritizing work based on overall fleet impact and return-to-service timelines. Define, maintain, and enforce fleet-wide performance metrics related to uptime, hashrate, efficiency, and repair throughput. Partner with Site Managers, Site Leads, and hosting providers to ensure site-level execution aligns with fleet standards and priorities. Serve as the primary escalation point for systemic fleet issues that span sites, hosting providers, firmware, or hardware generations. Drive disciplined change management for fleet-wide configuration, firmware, and operational changes. Support the development, maintenance, and enforcement of SOPs and EOPs related to fleet operations, configuration, and recovery. Partner with Network Operations to ensure consistent monitoring, telemetry, alerting, and visibility across the fleet. Analyze fleet performance data to identify trends, risks, and optimization opportunities, and translate findings into actionable plans. Support capacity planning, fleet refresh, and deployment strategies in partnership with Operations leadership. Act as a key operational interface with firmware vendors, repair vendors, hosting partners, and internal engineering or product teams. Conduct periodic site visits to Fortitude-operated and hosted locations to validate ASIC inventory accuracy, audit adherence to fleet SOPs, and ensure consistent operational standards. Support new site launches and expansions by overseeing hardware deployment, commissioning, and initial fleet configuration to ensure alignment with fleet standards from day one. Ensure fleet operations meet Fortitude Mining’s performance, reliability, cost, and risk management objectives.
