The posting

Keeping our vehicles on the road and our customers moving.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Fleet Controller to join our Fleet Control team at U-Drive.

Reporting to the Fleet Manager, you will work a 40-hour week, Monday to Friday, in a busy, team-based contact centre environment, handling a high volume of inbound and outbound calls and emails. You will take control of service, maintenance and repair (SMR), vehicle off road (VOR) cases and breakdowns from first call to resolution, arranging and chasing work with our supply chain, and making sure every job is delivered to service level agreements.

This is a busy, fast-moving role for someone who gets the job done. You will be:

  • A problem solver who takes ownership, thinks on your feet and finds a way to get vehicles back on the road
  • A strong, confident communicator by phone and email, able to chase suppliers firmly and keep customers informed
  • Highly organised, able to juggle multiple live jobs, prioritise under pressure and keep track of every one of them
  • Resilient and calm in a high-volume contact centre environment, where no two days are the same
  • A team player who supports colleagues when the phones are busy

About the Role

  • Taking ownership of SMR activity across our fleet, arranging servicing, repairs, inspections, MOT/plate tests and Road Fund Licence renewals with our in-house workshop and third-party suppliers
  • Managing VOR vehicles and breakdowns, prioritising urgent cases against customer service level agreements and driving down vehicle downtime
  • Making and taking a high volume of calls and emails with customers, garages, breakdown providers and other suppliers, and chasing every job through to completion
  • Reviewing repairs and incidents to identify recharge opportunities, for example damage, misuse or non-fair-wear-and-tear items, and ensuring they are raised
  • Keeping customers and colleagues updated with clear, accurate and timely information on vehicle status
  • Working with the Insurance, Account Management and Sales teams to resolve problems and improve the service we deliver
  • Recording all activity accurately and without delay in our rental management system

This is a permanent, full-time position working 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday. The role operates on a rotating shift pattern, with working hours falling between 7:00am and 6:00pm depending on the allocated shift.

Bank Holidays will sometimes be worked on a half-day basis.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
