The Opportunity

Edwards Employment Solutions are recruiting for a Fleet & Facilities Assistant to join a busy, operationally focused organisation based in Chesterfield on a temporary basis.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining fleet administration, vehicle maintenance coordination, compliance monitoring and general facilities support.

We're looking for someone organised, proactive and confident working in a busy operational environment, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and keep things running smoothly.

The Role

Working closely with the Fleet & Facilities Manager, your responsibilities will include:

  • Coordinating vehicle servicing, MOTs, repairs and statutory inspections.

  • Monitoring fleet compliance, roadworthiness and vehicle safety checks.

  • Maintaining accurate fleet records, databases and maintenance schedules.

  • Liaising with drivers, internal departments, garages and external contractors.

  • Supporting the administration of fleet insurance, accident reports and claims.

  • Arranging vehicle collections, deliveries and maintenance appointments.

  • Monitoring vehicle usage and supporting the efficient allocation of fleet resources.

  • Assisting with vehicle procurement, short-term hire arrangements and stock control.

  • Coordinating general depot and facilities maintenance activities.

  • Identifying and resolving day-to-day fleet and operational issues.

About You

We're particularly interested in candidates who have experience in fleet administration, transport coordination, vehicle maintenance scheduling or facilities support.

Ideally, you'll bring:

  • Previous experience in a fleet, transport, facilities or operational support role.

  • A good understanding of vehicle servicing, maintenance and compliance requirements.

  • Experience coordinating maintenance schedules and dealing with external suppliers.

  • Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.

  • Confidence using Microsoft Office, spreadsheets and database systems.

  • Good communication skills and a practical, problem-solving approach.

  • The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities.

  • A full UK driving licence.

Experience working within a local authority, depot environment or using fleet management systems would be advantageous, although not essential.

What's on Offer?

  • £12.84 per hour, increasing after 3 months.

  • 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm.

  • Temporary opportunity with an established Chesterfield-based organisation.

  • Varied role offering a mix of administration and operational coordination.

  • Supportive team environment with exposure to a broad range of operational activities.

Interested?
