Fleet Maintenance Manager (Winston-Salem, NC)

Maintenance Manager

Sunway Charters | Fleet & Maintenance | Full-time | Reports to Chief Transportation Officer

You are the backbone of the shop. Every bus that rolls out clean and on time starts with you - your crew, your parts, your process. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows diesel inside and out and takes pride in running a tight operation. You will be in the shop leading by example, making real-time decisions that keep our fleet moving and our customers on schedule.

What You Will Own

• Daily shop leadership - Run the floor, assist mechanics directly, and build out each day's work assignment sheet so nothing slips through the cracks.
• DVIR and scheduling oversight - Review prior-day driver inspection reports every morning and check Coach Manager scheduling for the next seven days to stay ahead of service demands.
• Preventive maintenance - Monitor VMS for upcoming PMs and ensure scheduled work orders are closed out on time, every time.
• Work order management - Open, track, and close both scheduled and unscheduled work orders; confirm all parts are applied before close-out.
• Parts and procurement - Look up and order all parts from vendors, manage the parts room, and monitor fluid inventory (fuel, oil, antifreeze) to keep reorder levels tight.
• Vendor coordination - Manage outside repair relationships and serve as the point of contact for all third-party vendors.
• Fuel accountability - Input prior-day fuel data and verify tank readings daily.

What You Bring

• Minimum of five (5) years of experience in medium/heavy fleet mechanic repair - diesel and gasoline systems both.
• Strong skills in diagnostics, electrical systems, air brake systems, and HVAC/AC. These are not nice-to-haves.
• ASE Master Truck Technician certification preferred. EPA 608/609 certification is a plus.
• Valid North Carolina driver's license with a clean driving record. Must have or be willing to obtain a Class B CDL.
• Must own your tools. You know your way around them - bring them.
• Sound judgment and confident decision-making under pressure. The shop moves fast; you set the pace.
• Must be at least 21 years of age.
