EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
We have an exciting opportunity to join the team as our Maintenance Delivery Manager where you provide operational oversight for the Fleet Maintenance function, managing a team of workshop managers across multiple sites, and offering leadership to the workshops to deliver the maintenance strategic plan on a 12 month basis only.
We will be looking for you to drive performance, compliance, and continuous improvement across all workshops, ensuring excellent service delivery and stakeholder satisfaction. You'll work with the Fleet Lead to develop and deliver a fleet maintenance strategy aligned with business objectives and regulatory standards. You'll also manage third-party vendors, overseeing contracts and KPIs to ensure efficient and cost-effective service.
Some of your key accountabilities in helping us on our journey will be:

• Support the Fleet lead to develop workshop business plans, budgets and performance targets for all workshops ensuring alignment with fleet and wider corporate objectives. Execute all approved plans across the fleet workshops, providing leadership and advice to team and monitoring progress with regular updates to peers on fleet leadership team and fleet lead.
• Manage a multi-million-pound maintenance budget, ensuring cost effective delivery and value for money and financial accountability.
• Drive initiatives to reduce the Vehicle Off Road (VOR) time, improve MOT pass rates and enhance asset lifecycle performance.
• Ensure full compliance with DVSA, HSE, O License, and internal audit standards, developing and embedding robust governance across fleet maintenance operations and ensuring the maintenance of accurate documentation.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE ROLE
We're looking for someone with substantial experience leading large, multi-site technical operations teams within a regulated fleet or transport environment. You should have a strong track record of delivering operational excellence, driving cost efficiencies, and implementing strategic improvements in fleet maintenance.
In addition, you'll need a solid understanding of the fleet sector, including O License requirements, DVSA regulations, and health and safety legislation. You should also possess a strategic grasp of fleet maintenance KPIs and regulatory frameworks to ensure operations are both compliant and aligned with broader corporate objectives.
It is essential that you hold a Transport Manager CPC, an LGV 1 Driving License (or be working towards this qualification), proven technical qualifications in LGV maintenance or equivalent, and a full UK Driving License with the willingness to travel as required.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.
