Help build the fleet infrastructure REIC will need for its next stage of growth. What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who is comfortable building while operating . You don't need everything to already be perfectly defined-you enjoy figuring out what the right process should be and then making it work. You may be a strong fit if you have: Experience managing or supporting a meaningful fleet of equipment, vehicles, or other capital assets. A strong understanding of fleet economics, including utilization, lifecycle planning, maintenance costs, replacement decisions, and total cost of ownership. Strong analytical skills and the ability to turn fleet data into actionable business decisions. Experience developing fleet processes, reporting, systems, or operating procedures-not simply working within an established system. Experience working with equipment manufacturers, dealers, suppliers, and other fleet-related vendors. Strong negotiation and vendor-management skills. The ability to work effectively with both field operations and corporate teams. Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment. Strong Excel skills and comfort working with fleet management, ERP, reporting, or other business systems. A mindset of continuous improvement and an interest in using technology and data to make fleet management better. Experience with equipment rental, construction equipment, heavy equipment, or another asset-intensive operating business is strongly preferred. The Opportunity This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit a mature fleet program and keep it running. You'll have the opportunity to help build the fleet management capability REIC needs as the company grows -from the data and reporting to the processes, purchasing strategy, lifecycle planning, and day-to-day operating discipline. For someone who enjoys combining equipment, operations, data, financial thinking, and system building , this is an opportunity to have a meaningful impact on how a growing company operates.
