Description

The W. W. Williams Company is seeking a disciplined, analytical, and execution focused Director of Asset Management to own the physical assets and resource partnerships that enable operations across every W.W. Williams location. This position is accountable for our mobile fleet, approximately 1,000 vehicles, trailers and pieces of heavy equipment and growing, as well as our leased real estate footprint and the indirect vendor relationships that keep our branches supplied and running.

It will be your responsibility to ensure the company has the right assets, in the right locations, at the right cost, to grow the business and execute for customers. You will drive fleet utilization as a primary measure of success, hold our third-party fleet management partner (Holman) accountable for replacement, upfitting, disposal and service performance, and partner with Safety to ensure every vehicle is operated by a trained, licensed and fully certified driver.

This position is based at our Dallas, Texas headquarters and reports to the Chief Operating Officer.

Effort is allocated approximately 50% to fleet, 25% to real estate, and 25% to the indirect vendor and resource partnerships that support operations company-wide. Travel is minimal, though occasional site visits and vendor assessments are expected.

• 8+ years of progressive experience in fleet asset management, corporate real estate and facilities, or indirect procurement, including 3+ years of enterprise-level accountability for a fleet of 500 or more units.
• Demonstrated ownership of a fleet capital plan covering replacement cycling, upfit specification, remarketing and disposal, with documented improvement in utilization, cost per unit, or total cost of ownership.
• Experience managing a third-party fleet management provider (e.g., Holman, Element, Enterprise Fleet, Wheels/Donlen) to defined service levels, scorecards and lifecycle economics rather than to invoices.
• Experience specifying and procuring upfitted service assets such as mobile service trucks, lube and mechanic bodies, cranes, trailers, and heavy equipment, under procurement lead times of 12 months or longer.
• Working knowledge of DOT/FMCSA requirements: CDL and non-CDL licensing, driver qualification files, medical certification, hours of service, annual vehicle inspection and equipment operator certification.
• Track record administering a multi-site leased real estate portfolio of 20 or more locations, including renewals, critical date management, site selection, landlord relationships, and CAM reconciliation.
• Experience negotiating and managing national indirect vendor agreements across uniform and facility services, office and shop supply, waste, small tools, and similar categories, with measurable, validated savings.
• Financial fluency sufficient to build and defend a capital request: unit economics, lease-versus-buy analysis, total cost of ownership and payback modeling, developed in partnership with Finance.
• Demonstrated ability to influence branch and divisional operating leaders, and to hold vendors and partners accountable, without direct authority over either.
• Proficiency with fleet and asset management systems, telematics platforms, and the Microsoft Office Suite including advanced Excel; familiarity with Tableau and Karmak preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree (B.A./B.S.) in business, supply chain, finance, or a related field; or 8+ years related experience and/or training; or equivalent combination of education and experience. CAFM or CAFS designation preferred.
