Head of logistics and fleet

SITA UK are a waste and recycling business employing over 5,000 people at 300 locations across the UK. In order to support this dynamic and rapidly changing business, we require an experienced individual who has the ability to manage a fleet of over 1,000 vehicles ranging from refuse collection vehicles, road sweepers and heavy plant as well as a national network of company owned and independent or dealer workshops. Part of the challenge in this job is the varied technologies of the vehicles and the sophisticated ancillary equipment demanding a level of technical expertise beyond the norm. However the real challenge is the opportunity to change the culture of a critical support function and to work with your team to complete a fundamental review of the everyday policies and procedures in order to develop and introduce a world class maintenance and reporting regime. This would cover areas such as the setting of service level agreements and KPls, the introduction of an appropriate planned maintenance system, the development of a suitable budgeting process and the control of the purchase and divestment of the fleet assets. You will have a strong and multi site workshop experience and be able to show how you have led the change in your team's culture and made a step change in its performance. The ability to develop a team and bring them along with you in this journey is also a fundamental requirement. If you think you are up to this challenge then send your CV to stephanie.heappey@sita.co.uk
