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.
Wakefield is a cathedral city[a] in West Yorkshire, England located on the River Calder. The city had a population of 109,766 in the 2021 census, up from 99,251 in the 2011 census.[1] The city is the administrative centre of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Wakefield, which had a 2022 population of 357,729, the 26th most populous district in England. It is part of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area and the Yorkshire and The Humber region.
In 1888, it gained city status due to its cathedral. The city has a town hall and is home to the county hall, which was the former administrative centre of the city's county borough and metropolitan borough as well as county town for the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The Battle of Wakefield took place in the Wars of the Roses, and the city was a Royalist stronghold in the Civil War. Wakefield became an important market town and centre for wool, exploiting its position on the navigable River Calder to become an inland port. In the 18th century, Wakefield traded in corn, coal and textiles.
