• Purpose & Sustainability: Be part of a company that invests in the future through advanced systems, electrification, and sustainability programs.

What You’ll Do

• Optimize fleet planning to maximize utilization and minimize downtime.
• Oversee procurement and commissioning of new equipment.
• Ensure fleet maintenance and technical standards are met.
• Lead logistics and yard management across multiple locations.
• Protect assets and manage recovery processes.
• Manage decommissioning and resale / disposal of equipment.
• Ensure compliance with CSA, ANSI, and DOT standards.
• Drive financial performance and deliver accurate reporting.
• Lead and mentor Rentals Coordinators, building a strong team culture.
• Travel locally for client meetings; occasional US travel as required.
• Take on additional projects and growth opportunities as they arise.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven success managing large, multi-location fleets (300+ units).
• In-depth knowledge of construction and material handling equipment (forklifts, aerial lifts, excavators).
• Expertise in the full equipment lifecycle—from planning to resale.
• Strong analytical skills, including fleet utilization analysis.
• Familiarity with PM scheduling, repair tracking, and warranty processes.
• Proficiency in fleet management software, ERP platforms, and telematics / GPS tools.
• Knowledge of safety standards and compliance (CSA, ANSI, DOT) and inspection schedules.
• Strong leadership and collaboration skills—experienced leading teams and working cross-functionally.
• Highly organized, process-driven, and committed to continuous improvement.
• Skilled in damage billing, check-in / out processes, and equipment readiness.
• Technically savvy with a focus on improving system usage and data accuracy.
• Excellent communication and decision-making abilities.
• Valid driver’s license and flexibility to travel between locations.
