The position at PG&E is a new one, and Seavey will report to David Meisel, sr. director of transportation & aviation services.

Seavey plans to move to the San Francisco area toward the end of September.

Chris Wiley, CAFM, fleet operations manager, will serve as interim fleet director as of today. Wiley has worked with the City fleet for five years.

Wiley was previously the executive director of a non-profit organization that promoted manufacturing efficiency and environmental performance.
