Are you someone who loves getting things done, takes pride in a job well done and isn't afraid to get your hands dirty?

Are you a highly organised, motivated individual with excellent people skills and a passion for problem solving

Cool Rentals is looking for a Trainee Fleet Manager to join our supportive team and develop a career in fleet management coordinating our refrigerated trucks and vans across two Melbourne depots

No mechanical qualifications are required, we're looking for someone with initiative, leadership potential and a willingness to learn. You will also be someone with a can-do attitude, great people skills and an eye for detail who enjoys being out and about rather than sitting behind a desk all day.

· A full-time position based in Dandenong South with a varied and hands-on workload

· Supporting the wider team with day-to-day operational requirements

· Using computer systems to manage fleet requirements and maintain accurate records

You will ideally be

· Customer-focused with previous customer service or retail experience

· A confident communicator who can deal professionally with customers, suppliers and colleagues

· A current and valid driver's licence The Person We're Really Looking For

You might be the person who notices a damaged reflector before anyone else does.

You might be the person who sees a vehicle that isn't quite right and sorts it out before it becomes a problem.

You might be the person who can deal with a frustrated customer, find a solution and leave them with a great impression of Cool Rentals.

That's the person we want.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, pride and accountability in what they do.
