We are seeking to engage an Experience Fleet Manager who is well seasoned on this field, his duties/responsibilites are as follows but not limited to: 

Purchasing Vehicles

When the construction company needs to purchase or lease a new piece of equipment or replace a current piece, the fleet manager does the research to find the best vehicle or piece of equipment for the job. Construction vehicles and equipment include everything from pickup trucks to bulldozers to forklifts. For large and expensive equipment, such as excavators and cranes, the fleet manager submits proposals for bids, compares prices, and negotiates with vendors to find the best possible product at the best price.

Maintaining the Fleet

Construction vehicles take a beating and need a lot of upkeep and preventative maintenance. The fleet manager ensures that each vehicle receives the necessary maintenance to prevent issues or major repairs. Additionally, the fleet manager makes sure each vehicle adheres to industry standards and regulations for emissions, usage and operation.

Overseeing Fleet Logistics

During a construction project, the fleet manager decides which vehicles need to go to which work site, based on each type of project. For example, digging projects need excavators and bulldozers, while road work projects require graders and pavers. He sets up the transportation of the vehicles to and from a work site, takes care of proper storage and housing of vehicles, and manages the fuel consumption for the vehicles. The fleet manager tracks the use of each piece of equipment, including monitoring costs associated with operating each piece, making sure that he stays within the company’s fleet budget. He also looks for ways to cut equipment and vehicle costs.
