  • Monitor and assist in reducing vehicle breakdowns and lost mileage by focusing on preventative maintenance and performance improvement.

Health, Safety & Compliance

  • Ensure staff compliance with health & safety standards, environmental policies, and statutory regulations.
  • Actively monitor safe working practices, including those of contractors and visitors.
  • Assist the Engineering Manager in fostering a culture of continuous safety awareness and compliance.

Fleet & Customer Service

  • Ensure the depot consistently meets PVR, delivering clean, roadworthy vehicles that exceed statutory standards.
  • Support the delivery of contractual obligations through effective fleet availability planning.

People Management

  • Assist in all aspects of people management, including recruitment, onboarding, performance reviews, absence management, and employee relations.
  • Support the development of team members through training, coaching, and identifying skills gaps.
  • Maintain open communication with staff and relay feedback to the Engineering Manager.

Quality & Continuous Improvement

  • Uphold high-quality engineering standards by promoting individual and team accountability.
  • Encourage and support continuous improvement and efficiency initiatives throughout the depot.
  • Identify areas of underperformance and contribute to action plans to improve outcomes.

Person Specification

Essential Criteria

  • Strong engineering background, ideally within heavy vehicles or plant machinery, with experience in maintenance, servicing, or overhaul.
  • Recognised apprenticeship, vocational qualification, or relevant degree/diploma in engineering, vehicle maintenance, or a related field.
  • Sound knowledge of Health & Safety legislation and commitment to best practice.
  • Proven ability to supervise and motivate a team in a fast-paced, operational environment.
  • Excellent communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to high standards.
