Summary
I am eager to step into the fleet manager role at the Aberdeen fleet garage, confident that my contributions over the past few years have equipped me with the skills to excel in this position. Over the past decade at the Aberdeen Fleet Shop, I have established significant professional relationships with the traffic team, warehouse personnel, drivers, and nearly all fleet technicians and managers on the Atlantic side of Frito, alongside completing a two-day course in introductory leadership & winning the fleet technician of the year twice. I've played a key role in enhancing the financial planning for the Aberdeen shop, introducing smart strategies to save money while creating a safer and more efficient workplace. In just five years, I transformed from a C mechanic to a skilled A technician, later shifting into the R.E.T role where I support techs in mastering asset maintenance, while even traveling as far as Cucamonga to implement 5S practices and kickstart repairs in their storeroom.
