* Building strong relationships with suppliers and securing great service agreements
* Keeping accurate service, maintenance and compliance records
* Managing stores, inventory and secondary assets
* Supporting environmental performance and fleet improvement initiatives
* Helping integrate tech like CCTV, comms devices and fleet monitoring systems
This role is all about teamwork, problem‐solving and staying one step ahead.
What you'll bring
* Trade qualification (Cert III Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology or equivalent)
* Solid experience maintaining and repairing heavy commercial vehicles (bus or truck)
* MR licence (if you've got it great but we can support you to achieve); HR licence a big plus
* Forklift licence (nice to have)
* Strong leadership skills — you know how to get the best out of a team
* Confident communicator with great decision‐making skills
* A proactive, solutions‐focused mindset
Why join us?
Because you'll be part of a team that values safety, reliability and people. You'll have the autonomy to lead your workshop your way, backed by a company that invests in its fleet, its technology and its people.
