About the position

Cape Town | Full Time | Fixed-Term Contract

Are you a master of motion, a commander of cost control, and a logistics whisperer?
Then buckle up — this one’s for you.

We're on the lookout for a razor-sharp, detail-driven Fleet Controller to steer the wheel while our current superstar takes a well-earned maternity break. This is your chance to jump into the driver’s seat and take full command of an intricate, fast-paced fleet operation of up to 180 cars — keeping everything moving, efficient, and compliant from start to finish.

Why this matters:

You won’t just be filling in a seat — you’ll be the backbone of a critical operation. Your impact will be felt across the business. No fluff, no fillers — just a role with real responsibility and the opportunity to own your lane.

What’s the road ahead?

You’ll be the engine behind:

  • Keeping every vehicle accounted for, optimized, and humming — from cost control and driver management to fuel tracking, licensing, and repairs.
  • Partnering closely with our external fleet provider to ensure nothing falls through the cracks — you’ll be their go-to, their lighthouse in the storm.
  • Keeping our insurance claims in check, collisions in context, and recoveries in motion — cool-headed, quick-footed, and always on top of the paperwork.
  • Turning data into decisions — mileage, driver behaviour, service schedules, fuel spend… if it moves, you’re tracking it.
  • Staying one step ahead — planning vehicle rotations, coordinating de-fleeting, reconciling reports, and keeping our dashboards squeaky clean and insights-rich.
You’ll thrive if you:

  • Know fleet operations like the back of your hand (3–5 years’ experience in a similar role is ideal).
  • Have a brain built for structure and a heart that beats for logistics.
  • Are the kind of person who doesn’t just identify problems — you fix them.
  • Can juggle a million details and still deliver with precision.
  • Communicate clearly, act decisively, and work independently — no hand-holding needed.
  • Are a master of Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and know how to bring numbers to life.
  • Love a bit of organized chaos and keep your cool when the tyres hit the tarmac.
Bonus points if you:

  • Have a tertiary qualification in Fleet Management, Business, Finance or similar.
  • Know SAP ERP or have experience in high-volume, high-performance corporate environments.
  • Bring infectious energy, solution-focused thinking, and a proactive “I’ve got this” attitude.
 

Desired Skills:

  • Data
  • Excel
  • Fleet Management
  • Insights
