New Team, New Ambition!
How would you like to join something new, with big ambitions? If so, then look no further than our Corporate Fleet Unit (CFU) within Gloucestershire County Council (GCC). The CFU has been created to focus on ambitious and innovative ways of fleet management, maintenance, procurement, policy, legal compliance, and safety of all GCC Fleet including Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service (GFRS).
We are forward thinking and like to challenge the status quo. We want to be greener, leaner, using innovative technology, embrace new ideas in how we operate across the whole Sector. We already have a dedicated team based at the Tri Service Workshops & Shire Hall in Gloucester but are looking to add more talented individuals like you.

You will be reporting to the Administration Supervisor, who will be looking for an enthusiastic and experienced administrator, to help deliver a comprehensive administration and support function to the rest of our team, plus our other colleagues across GFRS and GCC.
Our Fleet is changing and so are we. With new systems, new vehicles, innovative technology, new staff, and want you to be part of the journey. Our portfolio of responsibility is so varied, whether implementing new EV vehicles and infrastructure projects, new systems, and procedures to aid how our fleet is managed and maintained. The CFU has a critical role in creating and managing large specialist vehicle projects for Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service, and other Council departments.
