Motability Operations are currently recruiting for a Fleet Control Platform Specialist to join our team in Bristol on a full-time, permanent basis. The Fleet Control Platform Specialist is responsible for managing, configuring, and supporting the partner platform used for service, maintenance, and repair (SMR) activities, including downtime management.

This role ensures that platform rules, workflows, and user access are maintained to support accurate, compliant, and cost-effective decision-making. It combines technical oversight with day-to-day operational support, including user administration, issue resolution, and collaboration with platform partners to enhance system performance.

The specialist also supports system maintenance, training, and documentation, acting as the key point of contact for all platform-related queries. By enabling effective platform use, and driving continuous improvement, the role supports SMR efficiency, cost control, and consistent service delivery across the network.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Management and Technical Oversight

• Maintain and configure the SMR platform to support accurate, compliant, and cost-effective decision-making.
• Ensure platform rules, workflows, and data structures are up to date and support high levels of auto-approval where appropriate.
• Collaborate with platform partners to enhance performance, coordinate updates, and implement improvements.
• Monitor data integrity and ensure compliance with internal policies and external regulations.

Operational Support and Issue Resolution

• Provide day-to-day operational support to platform users, including troubleshooting and resolving technical issues.
• Act as the primary point of contact for platform-related queries, ensuring timely resolutions and clear communication.
• Support the incident management partner in configuring and using downtime management tools effectively.
• Deliver performance insights and reports on platform usage, issues, and outcomes.

User Administration and Access Control

• Manage user access, roles, and permissions to ensure secure and appropriate platform usage.
• Support onboarding and offboarding processes, ensuring users have the correct level of system access.
• Maintain user configuration standards to support operational efficiency and accountability.

Training, Documentation, and Continuous Improvement

• Create and maintain up-to-date documentation, user guides, and support materials.
• Identify opportunities for system enhancements and support continuous improvement initiatives

About You

You’re a detail-oriented and technically confident professional with experience supporting and managing operational platforms - ideally within service, maintenance, or fleet environments.

You understand how to configure systems, maintain data accuracy, and manage user access to enable smooth, compliant, and cost-effective operations.

With a focus on continuous improvement, you proactively seek opportunities to enhance functionality, streamline workflows, and enable effective decision-making.

You take ownership of your work, balancing day-to-day operational demands with the drive to deliver long-term value and ensure compliance.

Minimum criteria:

• Experience managing and configuring the Epyx 1Link platform.
• Knowledge of workflows, rules, and user access control to maintain compliance and data integrity.
• Skilled in troubleshooting issues and providing user support as the primary point of contact.
• Experience creating documentation, guides, and training materials to support effective platform use.
• Proactive in identifying improvements to streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiency.
• Excellent communication and collaboration with internal teams and external partners.
