Fleet Technician
Fleet technician job description
A fleet technician is any automotive repair expert responsible for the simultaneous upkeep and maintenance of many vehicles. Like a car or diesel mechanic, fleet technicians vary from the roles above by their duties to oversee an entire fleet of vehicles, usually fora single company (although this can change.)Fleet technicians are naturally found whenever many business vehicles are required, so they often manage specialized vehicles such as taxis, school buses, or delivery trucks.
According to ZipRecruiter, fleet technicians “service vehicles when they are returned to the motor pool, ensure that they meet all safety regulations, and report any issues.”[1] This definition highlights that fleet technicians usually service vehicles after returning to a central location rather than traveling to perform repairs in situ. Because large fleets can log tens of thousands of miles across North America in an average week, fleet technicians must assess and repair mechanical problems before the vehicles are driven off the lot.
Some companies outsource their fleet management needs to third-party companies. A fleet technician may be responsible for a single fleet of vehicles contracted out to multiple end-user businesses. However, in most instances, a fleet technician will work for a firm that owns various company cars —usually at least five or more.
Marton is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated at the junction between the A156 and the A1500. It is 5 miles (8 km) south of Gainsborough, and 11 miles (18 km) north-west of Lincoln. The population of the civil parish (including Gate Burton) was 747 at the 2011 census.[1] The parish borders Brampton, Gate Burton, Sturton by Stow, North Leverton with Habblesthorpe, Cottam, Sturton-le-Steeple and Willingham.[2]
In Roman times, it was a way station, slightly north of the larger fort at Torksey, the point just before the Roman road crossed the River Trent. The modern A156 road crosses the ancient Roman road (now the A1500) mentioned in the Antonine Itinerary.[citation needed] Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin, descended from a yeoman family who lived for a number of generations at Marton.[3]
In the centre of the village stands the church of St Margaret. The building is essentially of the Norman Conquest period, built using a mixture of Anglo-Saxon and Norman styles.[4] Much of the work of these periods is still retained. It has an 11th-century tower[5] of herringbone masonry, a Saxon cross shaft set in an outer wall and an ancient carved crucifix within. The tall cross in the churchyard is used as a war memorial and it is thought to be a former Medieval market buttercross.[citation needed]
