  • Vehicle uptime & availability: Ensure fleet availability meets field service demand. Coordinate with field operations on vehicle needs and downtime windows. Minimize unplanned outages. Manage backup vehicle inventory for emergency situations. Report daily/weekly fleet availability metrics to operations leadership.
  • Compliance, safety & regulatory: Maintain OSHA compliance, DOT regulations, vehicle inspection standards, and company safety protocols. Manage vehicle inspections, emissions testing, insurance, and licensing. Investigate and document vehicle incidents or accidents. Ensure mechanics maintain required certifications. Stay current on regulatory changes.
  • Fleet technology & systems: Evaluate and implement fleet management systems (telematics, maintenance tracking, parts inventory software). Use data to optimize routes, monitor fuel consumption, track vehicle diagnostics. Integrate with field service scheduling to improve dispatch efficiency.
  • Capital planning & asset management: Plan multi-year fleet replacement cycles. Evaluate vehicle purchases, equipment additions, and technology upgrades. Balance cost, capabilities, and warranty terms. Track asset depreciation and manage vehicle retirements/disposals.
  • Inventory & supply chain: Manage spare parts inventory, tools, and supplies. Forecast parts demand based on fleet maintenance schedules. Negotiate supplier pricing and delivery terms. Minimize excess inventory while preventing shortages that cause downtime.
  • Performance measurement & reporting: Track KPIs: fleet availability %, maintenance cost per vehicle, cost per mile, mechanic productivity, vendor SLAs, safety incidents, compliance status. Provide weekly/monthly dashboards and quarterly business reviews to senior leadership.
  • Strategic improvements: Identify and drive initiatives that reduce maintenance costs, improve uptime, increase mechanic efficiency, or extend vehicle life. Lead projects like transitioning to preventive maintenance models, fleet right-sizing, or adoption of electric vehicles where applicable.
