About The Role

Foxtons cars make our all-important first impression, whether driving through London's streets or pulling up outside a client's home. That's why we've built a 900-strong fleet: iconic MINI Coopers, high-performance hybrids and electrics and coveted supercars. The Foxtons Fleet department, responsible for purchasing, servicing, valeting, and maintaining our entire fleet, serves an important function in our business and you could be part of it.

This role includes:

• Collecting vehicles for services and MOTs or in the case of accidental damage, and delivering the cars back to them once the relevant work has been carried out.

• Collecting and delivering vehicles to car dealerships.
• Maintaining our busy car park by making sure cars are correctly parked and that the area is kept clear for ease of access
• Completing in-depth vehicle appraisal forms on all vehicle handovers
• Assisting the Fleet Co-ordinators in allocating new starters their company cars during our induction programme.
