Fleet Operations Manager

$241k

Blue Peak Tents Inc

Description:

ABOUT BLUE PEAK TENTS

Blue Peak Tents is a rapidly growing event infrastructure company based in Batavia, Illinois, serving the Chicagoland area and beyond. We provide tenting, flooring, restroom trailers, generators, and related event services for corporate events, weddings, festivals, and large-scale productions. Our fleet of 80+ vehicles, trailers, and specialized equipment is the backbone of our field operations.

THE ROLE

The Fleet Operations Manager owns the readiness, compliance, and lifecycle management of Blue Peak Tents' entire fleet. When the Field Operations team assigns an asset to an event, it must be road-ready, legally compliant, and fully equipped. This role is the single point of accountability for fleet operations, replacing a function previously distributed across multiple people.

This is a Phase 1 hire with a clear path to a full Transportation Manager position overseeing both fleet and driver operations. At the six-month mark, the Equipment Maintenance Technician may transition to report directly to this role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Fleet Readiness and Maintenance

Own the preventative maintenance schedule for all fleet assets, coordinating with PMS in Geneva, IL

Ensure all vehicles, trailers, generators, and equipment are field-ready when assigned

Manage pre-trip and post-trip inspection processes

Track maintenance invoices, repair estimates, and work orders

Monitor high-cost vehicles and make data-driven repair vs. replace recommendations

Compliance and Documentation

Own DOT inspection records, registration renewals, and insurance documentation for the entire fleet

Build and maintain vehicle binders for every road-worthy asset

Ensure all safety equipment is present and current in every vehicle

Track IFTA and IRP compliance for applicable units

Vendor and Lease Management

Serve as single point of contact for all fleet vendors including PMS, Penske, Enterprise, and TransChicago NationaLease

Manage 12+ active vehicle leases totaling approximately $241K annually

Coordinate vehicle deliveries, returns, and swaps with leasing companies

Fleet Tracking and Reporting

Maintain the Blue Peak Fleet Tracker as the single source of truth for all fleet data

Provide monthly fleet status reports covering maintenance spend, compliance, and vehicle condition

Support capital planning by identifying when assets need replacement or fleet expansion

Restroom Trailer Fleet

Oversee readiness and deployment scheduling of 11 restroom trailers supporting a $600K+ annual revenue line

Coordinate with the Equipment Maintenance Technician on prep, PM, and field troubleshooting

Requirements:

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

3+ years of experience managing a commercial vehicle fleet, equipment fleet, or motor pool operation

Working knowledge of DOT regulations, vehicle inspection requirements, and commercial fleet compliance

Experience managing vendor relationships and service contracts

Proficiency with fleet tracking tools, spreadsheets, and basic reporting

Valid driver's license; ability to operate pickup trucks and box trucks

Preferred

Military background in transportation or logistics (MOS 88M, 88A, 91B, or equivalent)

Experience with leased fleet management (Penske, Enterprise, Ryder, or similar)

CDL Class A or B

Experience supervising technicians or maintenance staff

Experience in event, construction, or rental equipment industries

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

First 30 Days

Complete a full fleet inventory and condition assessment across all 80+ assets

Establish relationships with key vendors and audit current compliance status

First 90 Days

Implement a functioning PM schedule with no overdue units

All vehicle binders complete; Fleet Tracker current and accurate

First 6 Months

Measurable reduction in unplanned vehicle downtime

Zero compliance gaps on DOT, insurance, or registration

Proactive capital planning recommendations delivered to leadership

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

Salary: $80,000 to $100,000 annually, commensurate with experience. Full-time exempt position with benefits including health insurance, paid time off, and company holidays. As the fleet program matures (6 to 9 months), this role will join a weekend on-call rotation supporting field operations escalation.

Compensation details: 80000-100000 Yearly Salary
