Horley, United Kingdom ABM UK Full time

JOB TITLE:  Fleet and Engineering manager 

LOCATION: London Gatwick (LGW) – ability to travel required 

REPORTING TO: Head of London Gatwick & London City 

SHIFT PATTERN: Mon-Fri/ Weekends as required

SALARY: Competitive

OVERVIEW OF JOB DESCRIPTION 

Main Duties & Responsibilities:  

Managing the safety, efficiency, and cost control of all bus fleet vehicles, including a variety of ground services equipment (GSE) and relationships with third-party supplier, safeguarding the operational readiness for continued reliability and integrity for our contractual commitments with the airlines, airports, and associated business clients.  Whilst this role has majority synergies within the bus/coach engineering sector, the demands of operating within the airport environment (both Airside & Landside) is a stepped difference, with intensive passenger volumes, seasonal peaks, and the dependency of a fully integrated airport service, presents robust reliability throughout every link in the service chain. 

 

You will lead ABM Aviation’s Engineering function and team of engineers across both airports (LGW & LCY), supporting other networked airports from time to time, assisting with continuous future developments in commercial opportunity, whilst keeping in close contact with market innovations and sector regulations.  

 

You will identify overspend within departments and ensure our third party and in house maintenance teams are carrying out timely and essential repairs only. Preventative maintenance through daily in-operation inspections and periodic maintenance checks, will be a key to cost control.  

 

Safety leadership and audit management is a primary factor in virtually every aspect of your role and responsibilities, providing suitable systems and processes, equipment, resources, and equipment is in place to deliver our safe and robust daily services.  A steward of safety successes, you will actively promote a continuous safety culture throughout the business, sharing your expertise across the teams to bring value and ownership to daily tasks – ensuring everyone remains and returns home safely every day. 

 

Managing an effective balance between preventative maintenance to rapid recovery of fleet items, your will responsible for the vehicle compliance roadworthy tests/audit and systems operated across the fleet.  Within existing services, ABM operates an established MOT Test Centre for third party clients and contracted operators; this element of the business has become an essential part of the business, supporting a far-reaching business community that has become reliant on our dependable services.  Your abilities to review and extend the operational effectiveness and capacity will be a key motivator in our financial performance. 

 

Beyond the engineering practices, passenger experience is persistent area of focus.  Keeping automated services operating effectively from integrated tracking systems, PA announcements and onboard counting systems keeps our measured performance rating high, including the expectations of high presentations, cleanliness, and more recently deep-clean fogging (preventative coronavirus measures). 

ABM Aviation operates a variety of PCV vehicles from mini/midi buses through to rigid (12m and the wider (3m) airside bus fleet, supporting an array of Airport Ground Handling Equipment (GSE).  The evolution of electrification has arrived at airports, whereby we are embracing new technology and emerging an ‘all-electric’ fleet on a regular basis through commercial opportunities. 

 

Cost controls are an essential and effective measure of success; you will be responsible for supporting the budget control across the fleet, identifying cost-efficiencies in parts, stocks and service labour, including third party services.  Managing the cost of budgeted depreciation, extended life of assets through to cost proposals for new business, the fleet controller role is instrumental to every aspect of our financial performance.   

 

Our sustainability commitments are essential to our future growth and continued development.  Whilst we have several waste recycling initiatives, we constantly striving to reduce both our carbon footprint and waste products as a responsible airport services operator.  For fleet efficiencies in monitoring emissions and creating solutions to reduce our impact, your willingness to research the market or innovation will support and steer our commitments in continuous developments for a sustainable working environment.   

 

You will be reporting the Head of LGW Airport Operations as a line report, working collaboratively with a cross-section of management colleagues from accounting through to commercial and safety leadership.
