Medicine Hat News
The hard work and determination keeps paying off for Carlos Osterroth.
Osterroth is the manager of fleet services for the city of Medicine Hat and recently earned the Certified Automotive Fleet Manager designation, an esteemed honour in the fleet management industry, from NAFA Fleet Management Association.
“Being recognized is always a great feeling,” he said. “There’s a lot of competition in the field so being recognized at this level means a lot to me.
“I’ve stayed loyal to the city for some time now because they really gave me a start in this business and it’s a real privilege for me to be recognized like this.”
Fleet services are all of the mobile assets used for the city’s front line operations and the fleet services department does its job to support all of the other departments within the city.
Osterroth’s list of qualifications and certifications is too long to list but it includes bachelor’s and master’s degrees and years of work in the engineering field.
“We’ve done a lot of work over the years with the city and we’ve done some really great things here,” he said. “Before I moved for this job I was working with the Canadian Armed Forces doing very similar work and by trade I am a mechanical engineer.
“The strategy that I have implemented with the city is to take my areas of expertise and blend them together to make sure that the city has a sustainable asset management plan for the next 10 or so years.”
