Fleet Manager

Movers Choice & Co Pty Ltd Movers Choice & Co is an established transport and logistics operator based in Fairfield. We run local and interstate linehaul and goods transport, commercial and residential relocations, packing and materials supply, and a reusable plastic crate hire division. We operate a mixed fleet of heavy and light vehicles across metropolitan and interstate networks, supported by our own crews and our own transport management, safety and compliance systems.

As we have grown, the fleet has become central to how the business runs, and we now need an experienced Fleet Manager to own it properly.

You report directly to the Managing Director and you sit across the entire fleet function, from the vehicles and plant through to the drivers, the compliance and the numbers.

You are based at our depot and you are expected to be across the fleet in person and to run it to a professional standard, not from behind a desk.

Day to day you will plan and coordinate linehaul and metropolitan transport, keep the fleet safe and roadworthy, keep our accreditation in order, manage the people who drive for us, and keep a close eye on what the fleet costs to run.

You will be the person the Managing Director relies on to make sure nothing on the road side of the business slips.
