The Role
You will take responsibility for the day‑to‑day administration and management of our company vehicle fleet, ensuring our engineers have safe, compliant and well‑maintained vehicles to carry out their work.

- Arranging vehicle repairs and maintenance promptly.

- Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
- Confident in communicating with engineers, suppliers and colleagues.
- Able to prioritise and manage multiple tasks.
- Proficient in Microsoft Office and comfortable using computer systems.
- A team player with a positive, can‑do attitude.
Previous experience in fleet management or administration would be an advantage, but is not essential . Full training will be provided for the right candidate, so we would also welcome applications from people with strong administrative skills who are keen to learn.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary of £28,000 , depending on experience.
- Full‑time, permanent position.
- Monday to Friday working hours (8:00am – 5:00pm) – no weekend working.
- Full training and ongoing support.
- Friendly and supportive family‑run working environment.
- Opportunity to develop within a growing business.
