• Assist in drafting and enforcing fleet-related policies, ensuring operational consistency across the group.
• Collaborate with national and group fleet teams, aligning on risk management and operational improvements.

About you…

To excel in this role, experience in either fleet or transport management is essential, along with a positive approach and the ability to motivate yourself and your team. CPC qualification would be desirable but isn't essential.
