More promotion and succession means we’re looking for a Fleet Manager / Engineer or National Transport Manager who is looking to accelerate their career by taking an immediate step into our “Head of Fleet” position. We’re not expecting the finished article, we’re actually going to help you develop, grow and evolve your career by providing you with direction, support, guidance and encouragement. 

For external purposes, we’ve advertised the role at Manager level to attract the right level of talent, however, your title with us here will actually be “Head of Fleet”, what an opportunity this is! 

Here are a few things that might excite you! 

• Travis Perkins Plc operates one of the largest commercial and MHE fleets in the UK 

• The primary aim of this role is to make sure we have the right fleet, in the right place, at the right time to serve our customers safely and efficiently - now and in the future.   

• You’ll be part of the Group HSE & Fleet Leadership Team heading up our Fleet centre of expertise and have a direct reporting line into the Fleet Director for Policy & Engineering and regular contact with the Group Director.

Where are you coming from? 

We think as long as you’ve worked for a business with a fleet of over 100 vehicles, you’ll be able to get to grips with our fleet network. We’re open on the level you’re operating at though, we think you’ll be at Manager level or maybe “Head of” level. But either way we’re keen for you to need development. We’re not looking for the finished article.  Critical to your success will be your ability to lead a team of technical experts and engage with both our internal and external stakeholders.
