Reporting to the Assistant Chief Maintenance Officer of Maintenance & Engineering, this position provides strategic and operational leadership for BART's Non-Revenue Vehicle & Equipment (NRVE) program, ensuring the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the District's diverse fleet and specialized maintenance equipment.
This Senior Manager oversees the maintenance and lifecycle management of more than 733 non-revenue vehicles, 350+ pieces of specialized equipment, and 1,100+ fleet assets that support the mobility, maintenance, and emergency response needs of more than 30 departments across the District. Leading a team of approximately 40 employees, the successful candidate will foster a culture of safety, accountability, continuous improvement, and exceptional customer service. Key responsibilities include directing preventive maintenance, diagnostics, repairs, modifications, and regulatory inspections to maximize fleet reliability and availability. The Senior Manager oversees vehicle management policies and regulatory compliance programs, including the District's Employee Pull Notice and Commercial Driver programs, manages the bulk fuel program and related contracts, oversees procurement activities that support critical fleet operations, and ensures timely acquisition of parts and services to minimize equipment downtime.
This position plays a critical role in advancing BART's strategic initiatives by leading the NRVE Shop's progress toward ISO 9001:2015 compliance and future certification, implementing fleet management best practices, and partnering with Asset Management and Sustainability to execute a 15-year electric vehicle (EV) fleet replacement strategy and expand EV charging infrastructure in support of California's clean transportation goals.
The most qualified candidate for this position will have highly developed competencies beyond the minimum qualifications in the following areas, which will be reinforced with related work experience and will be clearly articulated during the selection process:
- Proven leadership of large, complex fleet maintenance and operations programs.
- Experience leading and developing diverse, high-performing teams while fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and operational excellence.
- Oversight of railroad fleet maintenance, or the maintenance of comparable heavy equipment and specialized fleet assets in a complex operational environment.
- Fleet operations experience within a public agency, public transit organization, or similarly complex operational environment.
- Comprehensive knowledge of fleet maintenance, vehicle lifecycle management, and asset management principles.
- Knowledge of applicable regulatory requirements, safety standards, and fleet management best practices.
- Experience with procurement, contract administration, vendor management, and budget oversight.
- Strategic planning, process improvement, and implementation of quality management initiatives, including continuous improvement methodologies.
- Strong collaboration, communication, and relationship-building skills with the ability to effectively partner with internal stakeholders, contractors, and external agencies.
As a key operational leader, the Senior Manager is expected to provide 24/7 on-call support for fleet and shop operations, coordinate emergency response activities during critical incidents, and work varying hours or schedules as operational needs require.
