What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fleet & Asset Manager position at REIC?
REIC Rentals | Strategic Leadership Role | Build, Optimize, Scale
REIC Rentals is seeking a high-impact Fleet & Asset Leader to architect, optimize, and scale a multi-location fleet operation that directly drives revenue, efficiency, and growth.
This is a leadership role, not a maintenance function.
You will own the full lifecycle of fleet strategy-from procurement and vendor negotiations to performance optimization, compliance, and technology integration.
If you've built systems, led teams, and driven measurable cost and performance improvements at scale-this is your opportunity to take full ownership.
About Us
REIC Rentals is a trusted full-line equipment partner serving projects across North America. With 55 locations, we serve Oil & Gas, Construction, Industrial, and Event sectors. Our focus: delivering high-performance equipment, expert support, and innovative, sustainable solutions that set new industry standards.
Join a growing, nationwide rental organization where procurement plays a strategic role in keeping our fleet rent-ready and our operations running smoothly. This is your chance to make an impact by driving savings, building supplier partnerships, and creating standardization across our network.

-
Drive cost optimization and ROI across all asset categories
