At the City of Leduc, our mission is People. Building. Community. We offer a collaborative and dynamic workplace where our values of Teamwork, Service, Respect, and Leadership guide our conduct and contribute to a healthy culture. If you would like to work as part of a progressive organization and enjoy a fast-paced environment, then this may be the opportunity for you.
We believe that our municipal workforce can only serve the community effectively when they have safe, reliable, and well-maintained equipment supporting them. From snowplows and emergency response vehicles to specialized infrastructure equipment, our fleet is the backbone of the City's daily operations. Our Infrastructure & Planning department focuses on keeping our city moving forward safely and sustainably.
When you take on this permanent, full-time role, you will inherit a well-managed fleet operation with experienced staff, effective systems, and a strong reputation for delivering reliable service. The shop is backed by highly capable Leads who keep daily operations running smoothly, meaning you are stepping into a stable, professional organization. This is a crucial leadership role that connects hands-on mechanical trade expertise with practical corporate strategy—giving you the perfect opportunity to build on our continued success while helping shape the future of Fleet Services.
Reporting directly to the Director of Public Services, the Manager, Fleet Services provides comprehensive business leadership and operational oversight to our entire fleet division. In this critical role, you hold total accountability for asset lifecycle management, substantial capital procurement projects, and the sustainable growth of our maintenance operations.
This isn't a job where you just sit behind a desk and read spreadsheets. You will be the person who brings modern fleet practices to life across our city. By using fleet data and telematics, you will help us make smart, evidence-based decisions about when to repair, maintain, or replace vehicles. You will work closely with all city departments to understand what their teams need, make sure our entire fleet meets safety and provincial standards, and find ways to keep our operations running smoothly and efficiently.
In this role, your focus will be split between supporting your people, managing capital assets, and keeping our shop running safely. You will:
Provide ongoing mentorship and guidance to the Leads and shop technicians, supporting their confidence, safety, and overall success on the floor.
Continuously review and update the fleet's preventive maintenance program to reduce unexpected downtime and keep our operators safe.
Lead the purchasing and procurement process for new municipal vehicles and equipment, from writing the initial technical specifications to evaluating bids and working with vendors.
Manage our corporate fuel card program, making sure proper controls, monitoring, and usage tracking are in place across the organization.
Use telematics and fleet analytics to track vehicle health, monitor fuel efficiency, and map out long-term equipment replacement cycles.
Keep our operations in line with regulatory standards, ensuring all units comply with Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP) requirements, environmental guidelines, and OH&S rules.
Partner with the Director of Public Services to build, review, and manage realistic operational and capital budgets.
Collaborate with other city departments to assess their vehicle needs and provide technical advice or troubleshooting support when issues come up.
You are a proactive, grounded leader who brings a strong mechanical trade background and an analytical mind to asset management. You bring:
A required Journeyman Heavy Equipment Technician designation, along with 5–7 years of hands-on experience working in the trade.
A minimum of five (5) years of experience in a leadership or supervisory role, with a proven track record of coaching and managing a technical team in a shop environment.
Deep knowledge of the wide variety of light, medium, and heavy-duty equipment used in a municipal or public works setting.
A practical understanding of modern fleet tools, including how to use telematics data and fleet software to make decisions.
Solid financial and business skills, with experience managing vendor performance, tracking expenditures, and staying within operational budgets.
Excellent communication and relationship skills, giving you the ability to talk shop with technicians, collaborate with other managers, and write clear reports for senior leadership.
A valid Class 3 driver’s license with an air brake endorsement, a current First Aid certification, and the ability to hold a license to complete Commercial Vehicle Inspections.
Direct experience writing technical specifications and managing procurement for fire trucks and emergency response apparatus is considered a significant asset.
Joining our Infrastructure & Planning team means choosing a stable, long-term career path where your work has a direct impact on the safety of our community. In this role, we offer:
Comprehensive health and dental benefits alongside extended wellness supports to take care of you and your family.
Participation in the Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP), ensuring secure, long-term retirement benefits.
A collaborative leadership network where your technical advice is trusted and valued.
A strong organizational focus on safety and work-life balance through flexible thinking, sustainable workloads, and a highly supportive team environment.
Ongoing professional development opportunities to expand your certifications and lead high-profile municipal innovations.
Access to our Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) and a free annual pass to City of Leduc recreation facilities to support your well-being.
As per the drug & alcohol standard, this position has been deemed safety sensitive by the employer and as such is subject to reasonable cause and post-incident drug and alcohol testing.
The successful candidate must provide a current Criminal Record Check and a clean Commercial Driver's Abstract at their own expense.
Please include a cover letter highlighting your experience with fleet procurement, team leadership, and your background managing heavy-duty or emergency equipment.
