The Role

As the Fleet Manager, you are the operational owner of Bronte Construction's truck and equipment fleet and the day-to-day leader of the yard. Based on-site at the Bronte Construction Yard, you'll manage the mechanics, the yard staff, and the logistics of moving trucks and equipment to active job sites - safely, on time, and within budget.

This role is the bridge between the field and the shop. You'll own fleet readiness, execution of the preventive maintenance program, MTO/CVOR compliance, oversight of electronic monitoring, and the supervision and development of our trades and yard team. You'll work closely with Project Managers, Site Supervisors, the Procurement Manager, and HSE & Fleet Admin to ensure every crew has the right asset, in the right condition, at the right time.

A Day in the Life

Your day starts early at the yard. You walk the lot before the crews roll out - eyes on equipment condition, fuel, security, and housekeeping. By 7:00 a.m., dispatch is confirmed, and every site knows what's coming. Mid-morning, you're in the shop reviewing work orders with the mechanics, troubleshooting a hydraulic issue on a loader, and rescheduling a PM that conflicts with tomorrow's pour. After lunch, you're on a call with a Project Manager negotiating equipment priorities for next week, then closing out a SiteDocs defect, then checking the telematics dashboard for any drivers who need a coaching conversation. Before you leave, you've signed off on the day's repairs and confirmed tomorrow's dispatch is locked in.
