Are you an experienced fleet professional ready to take the next step?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced operational environment where safety, compliance and efficiency are key?
We're looking for a Fleet Operations Lead to help manage and optimise a fleet of around 1,000 vehicles (primarily LCVs) and support the day‑to‑day running of a safe, compliant and cost‑effective operation. This is a pivotal role that ensures our people stay safe, our vehicles stay on the road, and our business keeps moving.
Responsibilities
As our Fleet Operations Lead, you will:
Oversee daily fleet operations to maximise vehicle uptime and safety. Manage key supplier relationships, ensuring strong performance, SLA delivery, and value for money. Support the coordination and compliance of 250 grey fleet vehicles, including licence checks, insurance, and safety standards. Allocate tasks across the Fleet team and monitor outputs. Produce accurate, timely MI reports covering VOR, compliance, vehicle condition, spend, incidents and trends. Analyse fleet data to identify root causes, inefficiencies, cost trends and opportunities for improvement. Ensure all vehicles meet legal and safety requirements — MOT, inspections, servicing and more. Review damage, risk and incident data to inform improvements. Maintain the accuracy of fleet management systems and holistic fleet data. Monitor and challenge fleet costs including maintenance, fuel, accidents, downtime, tolls and parking. Act as a key point of contact for fleet suppliers, escalating issues where required. Work collaboratively with internal stakeholders to resolve operational challenges. Deputise for the National Fleet Manager when needed and support strategic projects.
