What a fleet coordinator does
A fleet coordinator looks after the vehicles an organisation runs — arranging servicing, inspections and repairs, tracking insurance, tax and compliance records, and making sure the right vehicles are available when operations need them. The role keeps a fleet safe, legal and ready.
It is largely an administrative and coordination role that connects drivers, workshops, suppliers and managers. Fleet coordinators monitor renewals and deadlines, maintain records and help control the costs and downtime of running vehicles.
