Fleet Operations CoordinatorCouncil

Full Time / 37 Hours per week / Permanent

Help keep Leicester’s fleet moving.

Leicester City Council operates a diverse fleet of vehicles that support essential services across the city. From maintaining vehicle availability to coordinating repairs, hires and compliance activities, Fleet Services plays a vital role in keeping frontline services running safely and efficiently.

We're looking for a Fleet Operations Coordinator to join our Fleet Services team. This is a varied and fast-paced role where you'll work closely with drivers, managers, workshop staff, contractors and suppliers to support the delivery of a safe, legal, efficient and customer-focused fleet service.

The role is primarily office-based at 86 Leycroft Road and will involve regular interaction with operational colleagues across Fleet Services and the wider Council.

What you’ll be doing

As our Fleet Operations Coordinator, you'll be at the heart of keeping Leicester's essential services moving. No two days will be the same as you coordinate vehicle breakdowns, repairs, servicing, hires and fuel operations, ensuring our fleet remains safe, compliant and ready to support teams across the city. You'll be the go-to contact for fleet-related enquiries, working closely with drivers, managers, workshop staff and external suppliers to resolve issues quickly and minimise disruption.

You'll maintain accurate fleet records and compliance documentation, support Operator Licence requirements, monitor vehicle availability and fuel supplies, and provide valuable management information to help shape operational decisions. Alongside managing day-to-day activities, you'll play an important role in improving processes, modernising services and helping to drive the future development of the Council's fleet operations.

What you’ll need

We're looking for an organised and proactive individual who thrives in a busy operational environment and enjoys keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. You'll bring experience from a fleet, transport, logistics, engineering or vehicle-related setting, along with the confidence to coordinate multiple activities and build positive relationships with colleagues, customers, suppliers and contractors.

You'll be highly organised, able to juggle competing priorities, respond to changing demands and maintain accurate records with a keen eye for detail. Strong communication and customer service skills are essential, as you'll regularly provide advice, resolve issues and work with a wide range of stakeholders. You'll also be comfortable using digital systems and databases, applying sound judgement to solve problems, support compliance requirements and deliver efficient, high-quality services. Above all, you'll be committed to continuous improvement and eager to contribute ideas that help modernise and enhance fleet operations.

What we can offer you

As well as the satisfaction of helping to improve thousands of lives across Leicester, you can look forward to a work environment that encourages a healthy work/life balance. You’ll enjoy generous annual leave, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and the option of flexible working. We’ll also give you the chance to develop your skills and expertise with a variety of training and development opportunities. In addition, you can choose from a number of flexible benefits, including discounts on city buses and trains.
