FLEET MANAGER

National Civil & Foundations (NCF) | Oaklands Junction, VIC

About NCF

National Civil & Foundations (NCF) is a well-established civil construction company delivering excavation, retention, piling, infrastructure and cartage solutions to some of Australia's most successful and regarded builders. From bulk and detail excavation through to bored piles, CFA piles, ground anchors and rock drilling, NCF completes multiple work packages in-house rather than splitting projects across numerous trades — backed by an in-house structural engineering team and a fleet of excavators ranging from 5 to 49 tonne, piling rigs and specialist plant.

NCF has delivered projects for major clients including Built, Hickory, Hutchinson Builders, Kapitol Group, BESIX, Fulton Hogan, Downer, Symal, John Holland and CPB Contractors, across both private construction and infrastructure sectors — including rail occupation, level crossing removal and VicTrack-accredited piling works. Safety, quality and environmental performance are core to how NCF operates, underpinned by ISO 14001-aligned environmental management and a strong track record of incident-free project delivery.

About the Role

NCF is looking for an experienced Fleet Manager to take ownership of our plant, equipment and vehicle fleet, based out of our Oaklands Junction storage yard. This is a hands-on, high-accountability role at the centre of our operations — keeping our excavators, piling rigs and tools site-ready, our transport and servicing running smoothly, and our yard organised and efficient.

You'll work closely with project and site teams to make sure the right plant is in the right place at the right time,



and with our maintenance and repair partners to keep downtime to a minimum across a busy, multi-site civil and piling operation.
