Fleet and Maintenance Manager

Location: Coslada, Madrid

Do you have experience managing fleets of commercial vehicles and are you looking to take on a role with real potential for transformation?

An established company in the transport sector is looking to recruit a Fleet and Maintenance Manager to lead the technical, operational and financial management of a fleet comprising approximately 70 tractor units and 160 trailers, as well as coordinating its own workshop with a technical team.

Your role

You will be responsible for ensuring the fleet is in good technical condition and has maximum availability, coordinating the workshop’s internal resources and external suppliers.

The main challenge will be to drive the department’s evolution towards a more preventive, analytical and strategic management model, based on planning, cost control, data analysis and continuous improvement.

Key responsibilities

• Managing the preventative, corrective and predictive maintenance of tractor units and trailers.
• Planning and coordinating work carried out at our own workshop.
• Lead, organise and develop the workshop’s technical team and staff involved in vehicle parking.
• Coordinate and supervise external suppliers of maintenance, repairs, tyres, spare parts and breakdown assistance.
• Analysing recurring faults, downtime and incidents, and proposing measures for improvement.
• Monitor costs relating to maintenance, repairs, MOTs, spare parts and external services.
• Implement and monitor indicators such as fleet availability, cost per vehicle, cost per kilometre, downtime and compliance with preventive maintenance.
• Ensure compliance with technical, documentation and safety regulations.
• Work across departments with traffic, operations, administration and management.
• Oversee the organisation and smooth running of the main vehicle car park located in Coslada.
• Deal with significant incidents outside normal working hours when operational requirements so dictate.

The profile we are looking for

We are looking for a professional with experience in one of the following areas:

• Management and maintenance of transport fleets.
• Commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles.
• Workshop coordination or management.
• Management of technical teams.
• Cost control and management of maintenance suppliers.

You will need to demonstrate a good technical understanding of tractor units, commercial vehicles and trailers, together with the ability to analyse information, identify patterns of breakdowns and make decisions based on key performance indicators.

We will particularly value a candidate who is:

• Organised, methodical and with strong planning skills.
• Decisive and able to make decisions independently.
• With operational leadership and the ability to manage priorities.
• Results-oriented, service-minded and committed to operational continuity.
• Proactive, committed and with a mindset focused on continuous improvement.
• Able to combine a technical vision with an economic and strategic perspective.

What does the role offer?

• A key role with a direct impact on the efficiency and profitability of the operation.
• Genuine responsibility for a significant fleet and a dedicated technical team.
• The opportunity to implement processes, performance indicators and new management tools.
• A project in which you will be able to transform a predominantly reactive management approach into a model based on prevention, planning and analysis.
• Competitive remuneration commensurate with the experience you bring.
• A stable role with opportunities for career progression.

This is an excellent opportunity for professionals who wish to take the next step, assume full responsibility for fleet maintenance and lead the strategic development of the department.
