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.

About the Job:

• 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.

• Experience in fleet operations, transport administration or maintenance coordination.


• Strong understanding of LCV/van maintenance, compliance and fleet processes.


• Confident communicator with excellent stakeholder engagement skills.


• Advanced Excel skills with the ability to manipulate data and build meaningful reports.


• Solid working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).


• Experienced in using fleet management systems, leasing structures and maintenance workflows.


• A proactive problem‑solver with great decision‑making abilities.


• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑moving environment.


• Fleet‑specific qualifications are desirable, but we also welcome candidates willing to work towards them.
