Fleet Management Division maintains a fleet of over 2,000 pieces of automotive and heavy trucks, 2,000 off-road and heavy-equipment assets and numerous small-engine items. It also provides 24-hour fuel service throughout the County for more than 4,200 vehicles and equipment and maintains the County emergency rescue ambulances and emergency generators on a 24-hour basis. The division was recently ranked the #7 best Government Fleet in the United States by Government Fleet.
“I love that we interact and touch every department in the County,” said Bryan Lucas, manager, Fleet Management Division. “We’re one of the best places you can work because you’ll never get bored. There’s always something different and challenging to work on. If you want the opportunity for growth and internal training, this is the place to come and do that.”
Luis Rolon, who recently joined Fleet Management as an equipment mechanic, shares the same sentiments as Lucas. “Every day I’m doing something different, and I’m constantly learning and honing my skills,” he said. “The technicians and mechanics I work with are all willing to teach and educate others. They all come to work with the same sense of purpose, which is to keep the County operating and help residents maintain a high quality of life.”
Facilities Management Division provides a safe and healthy environment for employees and the public in a cost effective and efficient manner by managing and performing routine, corrective, preventive and emergency maintenance to County facilities and equipment. The team maintains more than 5.8 million square feet of space and over 500 structures across Orange County.
“It’s reliable here… I have 40 hours a week guaranteed and the opportunity to constantly learn and grow,” said Reynaldo Polanco, senior technician, Facilities Management Division. “The County provides a great work environment, and it’s a dynamic job. I’m out fixing things all day with a great group of people. It’s incredibly rewarding.”
