ABOUT US

As Australia’s largest independent Fleet Management solutions provider, our success lies in our passion and desire to provide innovative, and tailored fleet management and leasing solutions to a broad range of clients nationally.

• Managing repairs with suppliers and manufacturers to ensure minimum downtime and costs
• Following up on outstanding supplier invoices
• Working with the Maintenance Manager to establish suitable supplier networks to service our client’s vehicles
• Where necessary, going off-site to inspect assets requiring high-cost repairs to ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients.

• Minimum of 2 years hands on experience as a qualified vehicle technician, workshop controller, service advisor or similar related experience
• Sound understanding of fleet management, automotive service, spare parts and associated industries

WHAT WE OFFER

As part of the Fleetcare family, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds with all the advantages of working for a large corporate business combined with a ‘family feel’ of a smaller organisation.
