• Monitor maintenance and repair costs and identify opportunities to improve efficiency
• Work with senior management on long-term fleet strategy, equipment replacement and asset planning
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and communicate fleet status to management
• Assist the team on the shop floor when required

Qualifications

• Previous experience managing a diesel, truck, heavy equipment or fleet maintenance operation
• Experience as a Fleet Manager, Service Manager, Shop Manager, Maintenance Manager or similar leadership position

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced fleet maintenance professional who enjoys leading a team while remaining connected to the day-to-day operation of the shop. We are looking for someone who can keep the fleet running, support the technicians and bring a proactive approach to maintenance, cost control and long-term asset management.
