Maintenance Controller – Fleet Compliance

Your new company

Due to the partnership between Hays and Birmingham City Council, we are looking to recruit a Maintenance Controller to complete compliance and audit checks against vehicles to ensure they are compliant and all paperwork is correct. Being the largest leading local authority in the whole of Europe, Birmingham City Council are renowned for their expertise in public services and endless opportunities. Birmingham City Council provides the city’s residents with a number of services to ensure stability within citizens' daily lives.

Your new role

This is an exciting opportunity for a compliance professional with fleet, transport, or audit experience to play a key role in ensuring our fleet operations remain safe, compliant, and efficient.

You will play a key role in ensuring Birmingham City Council's fleet operations remain fully compliant with all legal, regulatory, and organisational requirements. You will be responsible for conducting regular audits across fleet and driver compliance activities, maintaining accurate vehicle records, and monitoring statutory obligations including maintenance schedules, licencing, inspections, Driver CPC requirements, tachograph compliance, and Working Time Directive regulations. Working closely with operational teams, you will develop and monitor compliance KPIs, analyse audit outcomes to identify risks and trends, and implement corrective actions that support continuous improvement. You will also act as a subject-matter expert, providing guidance on fleet legislation and best practice, producing detailed reports for senior management, and ensuring policies and procedures remain aligned with current regulatory requirements and industry standards.
This is a fully on-site role.

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced compliance, audit, or fleet professional with a strong understanding of transport legislation, operational auditing, and regulatory requirements. You will have proven experience of conducting audits, monitoring compliance performance, and producing comprehensive reports with clear recommendations. You will be confident using auditing and performance monitoring tools, developing and tracking KPIs, and analysing data to identify areas for improvement. With excellent communication and interpersonal skills, you will be able to build effective working relationships, provide guidance on compliance best practice, and present findings to a range of stakeholders. You will be self-motivated, highly organised, and capable of managing multiple priorities while working both independently and collaboratively as part of a team. A strong commitment to maintaining a positive compliance and safety culture, together with a full UK driving licence, is essential. As this is a fully on-site role, commitment to being on-site Monday to Friday is also essential.

What you'll get in return

As a Hays contractor, you will have a dedicated consultant who will support you throughout the recruitment process as well as whilst you are at work. You will be given access to our training platform, where you can assign yourself to free online training to enhance your own skills.
