Operations Manager

We are seeking a Fleet Maintenance Manager to lead and oversee our growing fleet operations across Texas. You'll build and manage our fleet maintenance program while staying hands‑on in the field. Our fleet includes work trucks, utility vehicles, and heavy equipment supporting job sites throughout the state. As the sole fleet management professional, you will be responsible for maximizing equipment uptime, ensuring regulatory compliance, controlling maintenance costs, and maintaining safe operating conditions across all assets.

This is a hands‑on, field‑based position located in the Dallas Fort Worth area, with regular travel to project sites throughout Texas. The role combines strategic fleet management responsibilities with practical maintenance and repair work. You should be as comfortable planning maintenance and managing vendors as you are diagnosing and repairing equipment in the field.

You’ll work independently and own fleet performance, maintenance planning, reliability, and compliance, and you’ll keep leadership up to date on fleet health, costs, and upcoming equipment needs.

If you enjoy building and running a program while also working with your hands across a wide range of vehicles and equipment, this role offers the opportunity to do both. Instead of being stuck at a desk or in one shop, you’ll work across active project sites where what you do directly affects how well the operation runs.

You’ll oversee maintenance and reliability for a diverse fleet of work trucks, utility vehicles, telehandlers, aerial lifts, and other job site equipment operating across active construction and project sites throughout Texas. Responsibilities include preventive maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, inspections, and compliance across diesel, gasoline, hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical systems.
