Elevate Recycling and Disposal Services is a growth-oriented waste collection and disposal platform building scale through acquisition. We bring acquired companies onto a common operating standard while continuing to expand our base business. As our fleet grows across more locations, we need a hands-on fleet leader who can keep trucks safe, compliant, and on the road while setting one maintenance standard company-wide.

The Corporate Fleet Manager is responsible for the safety, reliability, compliance, and cost-effectiveness of Elevate's entire fleet of collection trucks, roll-off and service vehicles, trailers, container-handling equipment, and support vehicles across all operating locations. This role sets fleet standards and maintenance programs company-wide, oversees maintenance shops and technicians at each location, and leads fleet capital planning, including vehicle specification, acquisition, replacement, and disposal.

The Corporate Fleet Manager ensures the fleet meets all DOT and state regulatory requirements, manages fleet technology such as diagnostics, telematics, and camera systems, and controls maintenance, parts, and fuel costs. Working closely with Operations, Safety, and Finance, the Corporate Fleet Manager keeps trucks on the road, protects drivers and technicians, and ensures fleet decisions support Elevate's service commitments and earnings.
