About The Position

The Fleet Management Technician provides hands-on fleet and operational support to help keep field personnel productive and reduce billable time lost to vehicle maintenance, repairs, inspections, cleaning, breakdowns, deliveries, and related support activities.

The position reports directly to the local supervisor for day-to-day management, scheduling, workload, and administrative oversight. The Fleet Manager provides functional leadership for fleet priorities, standards, procedures, and overall program direction. Project management personnel may also assign operational and project-support work based on workload and business needs. Compensation is $20.00–$28.00 per hour, commensurate with experience, qualifications, and relevant fleet, automotive, mechanical, logistical, or operational experience. Immigration sponsorship or support is not available, except for qualified candidates eligible for TN visa classification.
