Senior Fleet Maintenance Manager – Utility Vegetation Management Riggs Tree Service, LLC This is not a traditional shop manager position. Riggs Tree Service is searching for an accomplished Senior Fleet Maintenance Manager with the leadership experience, technical expertise, and operational mindset to lead the maintenance and reliability of a specialized Utility Vegetation Management (UVM) fleet. We're looking for a rare combination: a proven leader who understands fleet strategy AND knows the equipment. The ideal candidate has led mechanics and technicians, managed heavy-duty or specialized equipment fleets, built effective preventive maintenance programs, reduced equipment downtime, controlled maintenance costs, and understands how fleet reliability directly impacts field production. Experience with utility vegetation management, tree care, forestry, utility contracting, or comparable specialized heavy-equipment operations will immediately get our attention. What You'll Lead Reporting directly to the CEO, you will provide leadership over fleet maintenance, repair, reliability, compliance, and operational readiness. You will be responsible for:
The Experience We're Looking For Strong candidates will bring:
UVM / Specialized Equipment Experience Candidates with direct experience maintaining fleets supporting Utility Vegetation Management, tree care, forestry, right-of-way, utilities, or similar field operations are strongly encouraged to apply. Experience with equipment such as:
This Role Is for a Leader Who Still Knows the Equipment We're not looking for someone whose only experience is managing spreadsheets and work orders. And we're not simply looking for the best mechanic in the shop. We're looking for someone who can lead the entire maintenance operation. You understand that when a critical piece of equipment is down, the impact reaches far beyond the maintenance shop. It affects crews, production, customers, safety, and the company's bottom line. You know how to identify recurring failures, improve preventive maintenance, develop technicians, establish accountability, manage costs, and make sound decisions about when equipment should be repaired, replaced, or retired. At the same time, you have enough technical depth to walk into the shop, understand a difficult mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical issue, ask the right questions, and earn the respect of experienced mechanics. Preferred Qualifications
Why Riggs Tree Service? This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical operational function and have a direct impact on fleet reliability, equipment uptime, maintenance performance, safety, and company growth. You'll work directly with senior leadership and have the opportunity to influence how Riggs Tree Service maintains its fleet, develops its maintenance team, manages costs, evaluates equipment, and prepares fleet operations for the future. Think You're the One? You don't need to be actively looking for a new job to have a conversation with us. If you've built or led a high-performing heavy-equipment maintenance operation—and especially if you understand the unique demands of utility vegetation management equipment—we want to hear from you. Bring us your leadership. Bring us your fleet expertise. Bring us your ideas for making a specialized fleet safer, stronger, and more reliable. |
