Job description

Description

Frac Sand Mining & Processing | Monday–Friday, 8-Hour Shifts

Competitive Salary • Monthly Production Bonus • Company-Paid Medical, Dental & Vision • 401(k) Match

If a machine goes down, everything behind it slows down. That's why this role matters. As our Fleet Manager, you own the mobile equipment that keeps a growing frac sand operation moving — deciding what gets inspected, what gets fixed first, and what parts are on the shelf before anyone needs them. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with mechanics, plant leadership, and operations, and you'll see the results of your decisions in the plant's numbers every single day.

Come from mining, aggregates, manufacturing, heavy industrial, or any world where mobile equipment has to run hard and run safe? You'll be right at home.

What You'll Own

• Run daily fleet operations — mobile equipment stays maintained, inspected, and ready to work.
• Walk the iron and spot worn or damaged parts, components, and systems before they become downtime.
• Assign and prioritize work orders for engines, fuel, exhaust, cooling, and electrical repairs.
• Test-drive and verify — nothing goes back in service until it's right.
• Keep maintenance and repair records clean and audit-ready.
• Own parts inventory: order, audit, and stock so repairs don't wait on a shipment.
• Partner with plant leadership, maintenance, and operations to keep production on schedule.
• Set the safety standard and keep every asset compliant with MSHA and company requirements.

What You Bring

• Hands-on experience managing or maintaining mobile equipment, vehicles, or heavy industrial fleet assets
• Solid grasp of vehicle mechanics and the judgment to know when a repair becomes a major one
• Confidence with diagnostic tools to troubleshoot mechanical issues
• Ability to read technical manuals, schematics, and diagrams
• Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
• Clear verbal and written communication
• High school diploma or equivalent
