Fleet Engineer

Are you ready to down the tools and stay firmly bolted to the ground? Stuck at a stop sign with nowhere to go? Ready to take the highway to a new career? GXO have engineered just the role for you!

We are currently seeking a talented and driven individual for the role of Fleet Engineer, to work across our busy B&Q network.

You will work closely with our transport teams across our 5 B&Q sites around the UK, providing statutory and regulatory compliance, alongside technical support and assistance, to maintain the operational efficiency of our fleet of vehicles and specialised equipment.

The role is being offered on a full-time, permanent basis. You’ll work 37.5 hours, Monday to Friday. However, as you’ll be supporting multiple sites and the role is both field and home based, some flexibility is essential - this is logistics after all!

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a salary of up to £45,000 per annum, you’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance. Your benefits package includes a company car or car allowance (£450 per calendar month), flexible dental insurance plans, a company sponsored pension scheme, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll also have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more! Including our GXO University which provides you the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with.

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Ensure statutory and regulatory compliance of the fleet, resolving technical issues, trouble shooting problems, delivering value for money (cost savings) and ensuring the smooth operation of the fleet and related services
• Review vehicle maintenance and servicing schedules, maintaining accurate records of vehicle inspections and services
• Conduct thorough vendor audits, DVSA reportable investigations and weekly/monthly fleet damage reporting
• Communicate effectively with repairers, customers, management, and internal teams, ensuring all stakeholders are appropriately aware of developments, progress, and changes that may have any impact on the business
• Work in conjunction with Transport Managers to achieve a reduction in vehicle damage and costs

What you need to succeed at GXO:

• A technical and supervisory background in HGV vehicle maintenance and compliance, with a thorough knowledge of regulatory compliance in relation to HGV and ancillary equipment
• A minimum of Level 3 City and Guilds Mechanical qualification or equivalent
• Excellent knowledge of parts, spend cost and labour hours - this will be a large part of your role
• A flexible approach to travelling and hours of work
