Fleet Manager

DIGCO, a Quanta Services company, is looking for a Fleet Manager. A hands-on, working role responsible for the direct maintenance, repair, and upkeep of DIGCO's fleet of vehicles, heavy construction equipment, and support assets in support of underground gas utility construction operations based out of the Shreveport, LA facility. The primary focus of this position is shop and field mechanical work, keeping equipment operational and crews moving. Administrative responsibilities include DOT compliance recordkeeping, fleet procurement, and vendor management.

Familiarity with DOT/FMCSA recordkeeping requirements, including driver vehicle inspection reports (DVIRs), vehicle maintenance files, and applicable compliance documentation

Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced field environment

Comfortable coordinating work with or providing direction to shop mechanics when assigned; experience working alongside shop personnel a plus

Must be dependable, self-directed, and capable of working independently without constant supervision

Able to work in high-stress environments with extreme weather fluctuations
