Lead the performance, reliability and future of a growing transport fleet.

Regal Haulage is looking for an experienced Fleet Asset Manager to take ownership of our assets, workshop performance, engineering standards, and maintenance strategy across the business.

This is a senior operational role responsible for ensuring our fleet remains safe, compliant, available, cost-effective, and fit for purpose — while also helping drive improvements in systems, workshop performance, supplier relationships, and long-term asset planning.

We are after someone who can sit comfortably in both worlds:
strategic enough to drive fleet performance and planning, but also hands-on enough to understand the day-to-day reality of workshop operations and heavy transport.

If you know what good looks like in fleet reliability, workshop output, asset life-cycle management and engineering standards — we want to hear from you.

About the Role

As our Fleet Asset Manager, you will be responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of Regal’s:

  • Heavy vehicle fleet assets

  • Workshop operations

  • Engineering and maintenance planning

  • Supplier and external repair relationships

  • Compliance, servicing and certification requirements

  • Asset utilization, availability and replacement planning

This role is critical to ensuring our fleet is maintained to the highest standard while supporting the wider business to deliver on customer expectations, operational performance and profitability.

You’ll work closely with operations, despatch, leadership, external suppliers and workshop teams to ensure the business has the right assets, in the right condition, at the right time.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Fleet & Asset Performance

  • Driving maximum fleet availability across the business

  • Ensuring fleet assets are maintained in a cost-effective and commercially smart manner

  • Monitoring asset condition, maintenance requirements and replacement needs

  • Leading long-term fleet planning and capital recommendations

  • Improving asset utilization and revenue performance

Workshop & Engineering Leadership

  • Leading the workshop and engineering function to deliver high-quality work, on time

  • Ensuring servicing, repairs, rebuilds and engineering work are planned and executed efficiently

  • Creating strong workshop structure, accountability and performance expectations

  • Supporting a culture of pride, urgency, quality and ownership

Maintenance & Compliance

  • Ensuring all servicing, maintenance and repairs meet legislative, safety and manufacturer standards

  • Managing COF schedules, maintenance records, certifications and compliance systems

  • Protecting warranty positions and ensuring OEM requirements are followed

  • Supporting safe, compliant fleet operations at all times

Supplier & Contractor Management

  • Managing relationships with external workshops, parts suppliers, tyre providers and service partners

  • Holding suppliers accountable to cost, quality and service expectations

  • Negotiating and improving supplier outcomes where possible

  • Ensuring third-party support aligns with Regal standards

Financial & Operational Oversight

  • Managing workshop-related costs

  • Supporting budgeting, forecasting and capex planning

  • Monitoring key workshop and fleet KPIs

  • Assisting with accurate maintenance costing and asset spend visibility

People Leadership

  • Leading and supporting workshop and engineering staff

  • Building a high-performance culture with clear expectations and accountability

  • Managing recruitment, development, training and performance

  • Supporting health, safety and return-to-work processes where required

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with real transport industry credibility — someone who understands that fleet performance directly impacts customer service, operational output and profitability.

You’ll likely bring:

  • 5+ years’ experience in a senior workshop, engineering, maintenance or fleet leadership role

  • Strong experience in heavy commercial vehicles / transport equipment

  • Proven ability to manage workshops, mechanical teams or engineering functions

  • A solid understanding of fleet compliance, servicing schedules and asset management

  • Experience working in the transport, logistics or heavy fleet sector

  • Strong commercial awareness and ability to manage costs and performance

  • The ability to lead teams, drive standards and hold people accountable

  • Good systems and administrative capability

  • Strong communication and relationship management skills

What Will Set You Apart

You’ll stand out if you:

  • Have a strong understanding of fleet reliability and preventive / predictive maintenance

  • Can improve workshop performance, structure and accountability

  • Have experience with Scania, Volvo or heavy transport fleet environments

  • Understand the balance between operational urgency and engineering standards

  • Are proactive, practical and solutions-focused

  • Can see both the big picture and the detail

Why Join Regal?

At Regal, we’re building for the future.

We’re continuing to invest in:

  • Fleet upgrades and refurbishment

  • Workshop and engineering improvements

  • Technology and systems

  • Operational capability and structure

  • Good people who want to make a real impact

This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely shape the performance and direction of a critical part of the business.

You won’t just be maintaining assets — you’ll be helping build the standard.
