More Good Reasons

Great time to join
Driven by strong growth, we are expanding our corporate organizational safety, health and environmental (SH&E) department to support the local and regional teams. You'll be in on the "ground floor" of that expansion, and have many opportunities to showcase your potential to take on additional responsibilities and pursue advancement.

Professional development
You'll touch just about all areas of SH&E in this role, enabling you to build your knowledge base. In addition, you'll share ideas and insights with the VP, colleagues around the country and vendors.

Award-winning innovation
At Dickinson we are committed to being on the leading edge in providing the services and tools fleet operators need. But don't just take our word for it -- in 2018, CIO Applications Magazine named us a Top 10 Telematics Solutions Provider. Telematics refers to technology solutions that enable people to send and receive information related to vehicles.

Fair and family oriented
Dickinson Fleet Services is family owned and operated. We realize that our success depends upon attracting and retaining the very best talent in the business. That's why we've created a culture based on strong values, in which everyone can grow and prosper.

Dedication to quality and service
Twenty years ago the owners of DFS set out to build a company that provides the highest level of quality and customer service in fleet management. Every one of our 700+ employees knows that quality and customer service are our passion. We work 24/7 to exceed expectations through our focus on customers, employees and safety.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary, we offer a strong benefits package that includes health insurance with medical, dental, prescription drug and vision coverage; free life insurance; free short-term disability insurance; an available 401(k) plan; holiday pay and paid vacation days.

Keys to Success

At Dickinson Fleet Services we seek ambitious, innovative individuals with the ability to grow and maintain value-added relationships with our team and external customers. Your knowledge of safety, health and environmental compliance will be essential, but just as important will be solid interpersonal and leadership skills. You should be as comfortable conducting training for Mobile Technicians as you are presenting to executives.

As you interact with safety representatives, shop managers, regional managers and others, you should be proactive about establishing yourself as a resource who can help them achieve goals. A collaborative approach will work best, and you'll need the ability to influence others. At the same time, with so much at stake, you'll need to be assertive when necessary.

We understand that there will be a learning curve as you get to know our business, people and processes. We'll add responsibilities at a reasonable pace to set you up for success, but you also should be proactive about getting up to speed as quickly as possible. A commitment to ongoing learning also will be important.

To excel in this role you will have a strong aptitude for gathering and reporting data. For example, regarding incidents, you should be able to determine what information is important, be persistent in investigating, and apply the information in helping prevent future incidents.
