Sport Signage are looking for a Fleet Manager to join our Central Operations / Logistics team.

The Fleet Manager provides dedicated ownership of Sport Signage vehicles, including vehicles used for company operations and vehicles rented to Formula 1 or other clients.

The role ensures the fleet is visible, compliant, available, maintained and allocated effectively to operational and client requirements.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING:

1. Fleet Register & Visibility
   Maintain an accurate register of owned, leased and relevant rented vehicles. Track location, status, availability, assigned user/event, key dates and known issues. Provide reliable fleet information for operational planning.
2. Maintenance & Readiness
   Plan routine servicing, inspections, repairs, tyres and other readiness activity. Minimise vehicle downtime during critical event periods. Ensure known defects are recorded, prioritised and resolved before deployment where required.
3. Event & Client Allocation
   Translate approved event and client requirements into vehicle allocation plans. Coordinate handovers, returns, keys, documentation and condition checks. Identify shortages early and recommend rental or substitution options.
4. Rental Provider Management
   Coordinate approved rental providers and maintain clear records of bookings, extensions, returns and associated documentation. Monitor provider service and vehicle suitability and escalate recurring issues.
5. Damage & Incident Management
   Maintain records of damage, incidents, repair status and supporting information. Coordinate inspections and repair actions and provide information to relevant internal stakeholders. Ensure damage is not lost between users, events and providers.
6. Logistics Interface
   Coordinate vehicle availability with the Logistics Coordinator so transport and event movement plans are realistic. Distinguish vehicle ownership/maintenance from shipment planning while keeping both functions aligned.
7. Compliance & Records
   Maintain required vehicle documentation and service/inspection records. Escalate specialist legal or regulatory questions to qualified providers or the Risk/Compliance function.
8. Cost & Utilisation
   Maintain visibility of rental, lease, maintenance, repair, fuel and avoidable damage cost drivers where data is available. Identify under-utilised vehicles, repeated emergency rentals and opportunities to improve fleet planning.
9. User Communication
   Provide clear handover expectations and reporting routes for defects/damage. Ensure users understand basic return, cleanliness, refuelling/charging and documentation requirements where applicable.
10. Continuous Improvement
    Develop standard vehicle allocation, condition-check and maintenance processes. Use fleet data to improve availability, cost and operational reliability.

THE SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE YOU NEED:

• Experience managing vehicles, rentals, fleet operations, transport assets or a comparable operational asset base.
• Strong administrative control of records, dates and handovers.
• Experience coordinating external service providers and resolving time-critical vehicle issues.
• Motorsport/event fleet experience is advantageous.
• Fleet administration and asset visibility.
• Maintenance scheduling and provider coordination.
• Vehicle allocation and handover control.
• Damage/incident record keeping.
• Cost awareness and operational problem solving.
