Full Job Posting
Houston, TX | Mustang Rental Services
Mustang Rental Services is hiring an experienced Fleet Manager to lead fleet strategy, utilization, and capital planning across our growing rental operations.
This is a high-impact role for someone who understands how to manage a large, diversified equipment fleet as a business asset—not simply maintain it. The Fleet Manager will oversee fleet performance across our branch network, helping ensure we have the right equipment, in the right market, at the right time while maximizing utilization and return on invested capital.
Working closely with Operations, Sales, Service, and Logistics, you’ll use data and market demand to guide equipment purchases, fleet movement, lifecycle decisions, and dispositions.
What You’ll Do
As Fleet Manager, you’ll take ownership of fleet strategy and performance across Mustang Rental Services, including:
Develop and execute fleet strategies aligned with business growth and return on invested capital (ROIC)
Plan and manage equipment purchases, redeployments, rotations, and dispositions
Optimize fleet mix across general rental, specialty, and heavy equipment categories
Monitor fleet utilization, time on rent, idle equipment, fleet age, and asset performance
Identify underperforming assets and determine the appropriate action—reposition, re-rent, or dispose
Use customer demand, utilization trends, and financial performance to prioritize capital investments
Lead fleet positioning and rotation across multiple branches to support market demand and major customer projects
Partner with Logistics to coordinate equipment movement while controlling transportation and transfer costs
Manage equipment throughout its lifecycle, from acquisition through final disposition
Monitor maintenance costs, fleet age, utilization, and return performance to support replacement and disposition decisions
Partner with Sales to align fleet availability with customer demand and growth opportunities
Collaborate with Service and Operations to improve equipment readiness and reduce downtime
Develop and maintain fleet dashboards, reports, and performance metrics
Present fleet performance trends and data-driven recommendations to leadership
What We’re Looking For
7–10 years of experience in fleet management, asset management, equipment rental, or other capital-intensive operations
Experience in equipment rental, heavy equipment, construction, industrial services, or a related industry strongly preferred
Demonstrated experience managing a large or diversified asset portfolio
Strong understanding of fleet utilization, asset lifecycle management, ROI/ROIC, and capital planning
Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn data into operational decisions
Experience with fleet management systems, reporting tools, and performance analytics
Ability to work effectively across Sales, Operations, Service, Logistics, and leadership teams
Strong judgment, accountability, and follow-through
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Engineering, Business, or a related field preferred
What Success Looks Like
You’ll make a measurable impact by:
Increasing fleet utilization and reducing idle equipment
Improving return on invested capital
Aligning fleet size and mix with customer and market demand
Strengthening equipment lifecycle and disposition decisions
Improving capital deployment discipline
Creating stronger alignment between Fleet, Sales, Operations, Service, and Logistics
