About you:

  • You have a common-sense business approach - you know what makes a great workshop and how to maximise efficiencies and opportunities to produce outstanding results.
  • Above all, you are a people person - you care about your team and understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always the best way to create a high-performing workshop team.
  • You are a natural coach and love to share your knowledge with others - nothing gives you more job satisfaction than seeing a colleague you have supported doing well.
  • You have a passion for customer service - you understand what is important to your customers and suppliers. If there is an issue, as Workshop Manager, you will know just how to solve it.
