  • Newly created role
  • Work from either Auckland or Christchurch
  • Develop and execute the fleet asset plan
  • Lead strategic fleet asset projects

In this new role, you'll report to the Category Manager - Transport and Fleet, acting as a key link between fleet users (from electric and combustion vehicles to forklifts, bikes, and more) across NZ Post. Your focus will be on fleet planning, optimising the fleet, long-term strategies, and strategic project delivery.

You'll do this through:

  • Developing, implementing, and managing fleet asset investment/replacement plans
  • Overseeing the fleet CAPEX and OPEX forecasting, planning and alignment process
  • Optimising the fleet lifecycle and supporting fleet disposal as part of the asset replacement plan
  • Leading and managing significant capital and operational investment projects and programmes, ensuring the asset lifecycle replacement plan is achieved
  • Driving a consistent approach to fleet asset management across stakeholders
  • Partnering with teams to align fleet safety and sustainability targets
  • Leading fleet improvements and optimisation activities from concept through to operational execution

You'll have key reporting responsibilities of the asset replacement plan, forecasted expenditure and delivery of projects to cross-functional senior leaders.

As a detail-orientated, analytical and delivery focused self-starter, you'll be passionate about mid-to-long term fleet planning and optimisation, with a strong focus on stakeholder engagement and communication.

You'll bring strong experience in fleet and asset management, coupled with asset planning, project management and hopefully a Prince2 certification.

You'll possess:

  • Strong experience in developing and maintaining asset replacement plans, along with managing significant capital investment projects
  • Proven experience in leading enterprise projects from concept through to delivery
  • Solid understanding of asset management principles
  • Knowledge of legislation, regulations, practices, and guidelines in relation to fleet assets and asset management and planning, including strong technical understanding of fleet, the industry, and the suppliers

You'll combine that experience with:

  • A highly developed planning, organisational, analytical, and problem-solving skills, including the ability to think strategically
  • The ability to work on multiple pieces of work consecutively
  • A strong solution-focused approach
  • Proven ability to develop key relationships both internally and externally at various levels of an organisation
  • Excellent knowledge of project and program planning best practices and approach

It goes without saying but we'll say it anyway, you'll also have excellent communication skills and the ability to engage at all levels, as well as being highly proficient in the MS Office suite.
