Description

Motability Operations are currently recruiting for a Fleet Control Specialist to join our team in Bristol on a 6-month FTC/secondment. The role is required to form part of the team who liaise with dealers to manage all in life service, maintenance, and repair costs for Motability Operations' customers' vehicles in life.

There are significant costs relating to the management of our customers' vehicles through the period of their lease, and using technical understanding and knowledge, these need to be forensically controlled whilst not impacting the customer experience.

This is a very commercial role and savings made through your work will be identified and reported.

In This Role You Will Be

• Reviewing all requests for work from vehicle repair suppliers, using your technical knowledge to ensure MO are paying only for the correct repairs, at the appropriate cost, at the right time
• Answering customer/dealer queries via telephone and ensuring a first-class service is delivered at all times, with a commercial lens
• Ensure 1-Link requests are responded to with technical knowledge and commercial challenge in a timely manner
• Providing technical support to the whole company and it's fleet and where necessary arbitrate between dealers, manufacturers and customers
• Collaborating and supporting other business areas where appropriate
  
  

Qualifications

You possess a high level of technical knowledge, enabling you to accurately assess submitted repairs and maintenance requests. You are organised and capable of prioritising workloads to ensure targets are met. With a strong customer focus, you are committed to delivering exceptionally high levels of service within a commercial environment. You work effectively as part of a team, supporting your colleagues, and you analyse and sort data to inform decisions, maximizing satisfaction while minimizing spend. You maintain high levels of accurate performance even under pressure and can support new and ongoing business initiatives aimed at promoting an excellent customer experience within a cost control model. Additionally, you have strong commercial awareness and an interest in the wider fleet and leasing industry, with a desire to learn about external influences that could impact the in-life experience of our customers.

Minimum Criteria

• A detailed understanding of the epyx 1Link system
• Technical knowledge
• A strong commercial focus and the ability to provide evidence of balancing excellent customer service vs. a voracious appetite to provide value for money for the Scheme
• An understanding of how the MO Scheme operates in particular in-life processes and procedures
• You must have the ability to balance customer focus and commercial implications whilst implementing new ideas and different approaches
