Position Overview

Keep Our Teams Moving. Lead a Fleet That Powers Our Operations.

At UES, our vehicles do more than transport employees. They keep our field teams moving, our projects on schedule, and our business operating efficiently.

We're seeking an experienced, highly organized Fleet Manager to oversee our growing Midwest fleet of approximately 470 vehicles and 600 drivers across multiple locations.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a complex regional fleet operation, collaborate with an established national fleet team, and make a direct impact on operational efficiency, vehicle availability, and business performance. We're looking for someone who understands fleet management from acquisition through disposal, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and knows how to keep vehicles on the road while managing competing priorities.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?

You're someone who can see the big picture without losing track of the details. You understand that when a vehicle is out of service, it can affect an entire project's schedule. You anticipate replacement needs, stay ahead of maintenance issues, and know how to coordinate multiple moving parts efficiently. You don't need to know every fleet system on day one, but you should bring a strong foundation in fleet operations, a proactive mindset, and the ability to learn quickly. Most importantly, you're organized, responsive, adaptable, and comfortable taking ownership of a fleet that supports hundreds of employees across multiple locations.

Why Join UES?

At UES, you'll join an established organization with a collaborative fleet team and leadership that values operational excellence.

We offer:

• The opportunity to manage a substantial regional fleet with meaningful operational impact.

• Collaboration with experienced regional and national fleet professionals.

• Hybrid work flexibility based on location and business needs.

• Minimal travel requirements.

• Medical, dental, and other comprehensive benefits.

• 401(k) with company match.

• Opportunities to improve fleet operations as our organization continues to grow.
