Vice President, Fleet & Asset Management
The opportunity
We provide reliable, 24/7 temporary power to commercial and industrial construction projects, delivered on a highly standardized fleet of mobile diesel generators and power distribution equipment. We have roughly doubled revenue every year and are scaling rapidly toward $1B.
The fleet is our product and our largest investment, but it’s our people who make it run. The technicians and shop leaders who repair and maintain that fleet are the real engine behind our reliability, and great ones are our hardest constraint to scale. As we grow, the difference between a good year and a great one comes down to two things: how well we acquire, deploy, maintain, and retire the fleet, and how well we build and develop the team that does it. We are hiring a VP of Fleet & Asset Management to own both — and to bring financial discipline to fleet decisions that have until now lived largely in the founder's head.
The mandate
You own the full life of the asset: what we buy, when we buy it, how we standardize it, how we keep it running, how we measure its returns and when we retire or resell it. You will run our shop operations, maintenance organization, and you will partner with the CEO, COO and CFO to manage the fleet as a financial portfolio — making capital-allocation calls grounded in utilization, reliability, and return on invested capital rather than intuition. The goal is a fleet that is more predictable, more productive, and more profitable every year, even as it grows.
What you’ll own
- People: build and develop the technician and shop leadership bench across the regions where great talent is available.
- Asset acquisition & disposition: sourcing and evaluating assets, negotiating purchases, and managing disposition / resale to keep the fleet fresh and capital recycling efficiently.
- Shop Operations: Build and run the shops that maintain reliable, standardized, deployable assets — efficiently, and effectively with lean tooling and facilities.
- Maintenance & reliability: preventive maintenance, failure analysis, and reliability engineering that keep uptime high across a growing, geographically distributed fleet.
- Standardization: protect and extend our standardized-fleet strategy — fewer configurations, cleaner economics, simpler operations.
- Fleet economics & capital allocation: own the unit economics of the fleet — utilization, ROIC by asset class, total cost of ownership, and buy / repair / hold / retire decisions. Build the model and the discipline so these decisions no longer depend on any single person.
- Data-driven asset performance: turn our remote-monitoring and telematics data into predictive maintenance, smarter deployment, and better asset-level decisions.
What you’ll be measured on
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): reliability, utilization, returns on capital, cost discipline, standardization ratio, capital recycling, safety & people.
- Key Leading Indicators (KLIs): PM compliance, monitoring coverage, predictive alerts, shop throughput, repair velocity, parts availability, workforce readiness, forecast accuracy.
Who you are (must-haves)
- Asset economics first: fluent in ROIC, utilization, total cost of ownership, and capital recycling, and able to partner with a CFO as a peer.
- A people developer: develops technicians and shop leaders and treats People first, as how the work actually gets done.
- Deep fleet operations: has run remanufacturing, repairs, maintenance, and/or reliability for a sizable fleet of generators, heavy equipment, or comparable industrial assets.
- Built and led shops: has managed multi-site shops or maintenance operations and built the teams that run them.
- Standardization mindset: prefers fewer configurations and cleaner economics over complexity, and defends that discipline as the business grows.
- Data-driven: uses telematics and monitoring data to drive maintenance and asset decisions, not just to report on them.
Bonus points
- Equipment rental, power generation, heavy equipment, or industrial fleet backgrounds.
- Asset-management experience from capital-intensive, asset-heavy industries (e.g., aviation, rail, or trucking) where lifecycle economics are a mature craft.
- Experience building or owning a fleet/asset-economics model or planning function.
- Scaling shop and maintenance operations through rapid, multi-region growth.
How we operate
We operate with values that prioritize People first before everything — including in the shops, where exceptional technicians are our real constraint and our real advantage. We are Proactive: our monitoring and maintenance exist to prevent problems, not just to react to them. We keep things Simple — a standardized fleet is a strategy, not an accident. And we are Impactful, focused on the decisions that move reliability, returns, and our people.
