Fleet Engineer

At Alltruck, our values shape the way we work. We're committed, progressive, passionate, and proactive - and we believe in creating an environment where our people can flourish. Our culture is built around a practical, positive "can do" attitude, with teams who are trusted, engaged, and empowered to do great work. Based from our head office in Leicester, we're a market leader in truck and van rental, contract hire, fleet management, commercial vehicle repair and maintenance, public sector fleet support, and Bodyshop repair services.

About the Role

Your mission is simple - but seriously important: protect Alltruck's customer promise and commercial performance by making sure our HGV fleet operates safely, reliably, cost-effectively, and to the highest engineering standards. You'll be the person who brings technical know-how, commercial sharpness, supplier confidence, and calm authority to the table.

Responsibilities

• Supplier performance that actually performs. You'll establish, negotiate, and manage clear service levels with external maintenance providers, making sure quality, uptime, response times, cost control, and customer impact are always front and centre.
• Technical standards that hold up under pressure. You'll use your HGV engineering expertise to assess repair quality, investigate recurring faults, validate technical recommendations, and prevent repeat failures before they become bigger problems.
• Commercial control with backbone. From pricing and warranty support to goodwill contributions and supplier commitments, you'll negotiate confidently and protect Alltruck's commercial position without compromising safety, compliance, or service quality.
• Stakeholder confidence. You'll be a credible engineering voice for suppliers, customers, Account Management, Fleet, and senior colleagues - especially when things are complex, urgent, or need a steady hand.
• Smarter ways of working. You'll use data, fleet systems, Microsoft Office tools, and appropriate AI-enabled approaches to spot patterns, sharpen reporting, improve maintenance decisions, and make operations more efficient.

Qualifications

• Strong HGV engineering knowledge - ideally as a fully qualified HGV Technician with at least five years' experience.

Required Skills

• A sharp eye for detail, with the ability to spot technical, commercial, and service risks early.
• Credibility, gravitas, and the confidence to challenge suppliers, customers, and internal stakeholders constructively.
• Determination to follow issues through until they're properly resolved.
• Commercial confidence, including the ability to negotiate fair value and challenge unnecessary cost.
• A collaborative, team-first approach with strong ownership of engineering outcomes.
• Confidence using fleet systems, data, reporting tools, Microsoft Office, and AI-enabled methods to improve decision-making.
• A practical, positive, values-led approach - committed, progressive, passionate, proactive, and ready to get stuck in.
• Flexibility to support out-of-hours breakdown cover.

You'll love this role if...

• You like solving real-world engineering problems, not just talking about them.
• You can balance technical standards, customer experience, compliance, and commercial reality.
• You're comfortable having honest conversations when service levels, costs, or repair quality aren't good enough.
• You know how to build strong relationships without becoming a pushover.
• You get a kick out of using data and systems to make things cleaner, smarter, and more efficient
