ORLANDO, Fla. – Tyler Savino has joined DRMP as fleet manager, where he will oversee the firm’s more than 300 vehicles and streamline operations, strengthen safety, and enhance efficiency.
In this role, Savino will simplify fleet processes to better support field operations. His priorities over the coming months include centralizing and streamlining fleet processes, reducing points of contact to simplify communication, and reducing costs through measures that will positively impact safety, fleet health, and overall operational efficiency across the firm. He also intends to build a plan that streamlines vehicle upfits to create greater uniformity among roles within the firm and its departments.
To support those goals, Savino plans to implement proactive maintenance scheduling, strategically use spare vehicles, and apply lifecycle-based replacement planning to reduce downtime and improve reliability.
“This business is diverse, and with that, comes a fleet that needs to serve the diverse needs but also be flexible to serve other divisional needs,” Savino said. “Finding that harmony is a goal and takes a lot of collaboration.”
Savino will work closely with project managers, field supervisors, and operational staff to support maintenance compliance, reinforce safe driving practices, and ensure vehicles remain reliable and ready for field use. He noted that fleet success depends on active participation throughout the firm and requires consistent communication, accountability, and timely reporting of vehicle issues.
He brings experience developing and managing a large-scale fleet operation of more than 500 vehicles, along with a background in engineering and drafting that provides insight into the requirements of infrastructure and field-based work.
“Recently, I was responsible for collaboratively building a fleet program for a fleet size of approximately 565 vehicles,” Savino said. “I wanted to bring that experience to an organization that places a strong emphasis on accountability, continuous improvement, and successfully working through changes.”
Savino noted that managing a diverse fleet requires balancing the needs of multiple business units while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changing operational needs.
Employees can expect a collaborative and responsive approach from Savino and a strong emphasis on safety.
“I pride myself on being responsive and strive to leave no question unanswered,” he said. “I am safety driven. Since my first role in fleet, it has become paramount that the effectiveness of the fleet keeps our people safe.”
He also highlighted the importance of maintenance compliance, regular inspections, and fostering a strong safety culture supported by communication and accountability.
DRMP President and CEO Glenn Lusink, PSM, said Savino’s background will be a strong asset as the firm continues to refine its fleet operations.
“Tyler has a proven ability to bring structure to complex operational environments and build effective working relationships with people,” he said. “We’re pleased to have him on board and look forward to the perspective he brings to DRMP.”
