• Genuine autonomy and ownership of the workshop
• Certified Great Place To Work®
• Supportive Branch Manager and leadership team
• Modern heavy vehicle workshop

The Role

As Workshop Manager, you’ll take the lead on the day-to-day performance of the Chipping Norton workshop.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, supporting and holding the workshop team accountable
• Planning and coordinating daily workshop workflow
• Allocating jobs based on technician capability and workload
• Monitoring productivity, job progress and turnaround times

• Maintaining high standards across safety, quality and compliance
• Supporting customer outcomes and resolving workshop issues
• Acting as second-in-charge to the Branch Manager

About You

You don’t need to have the exact Workshop Manager title today.

You might currently be a Workshop Supervisor, Assistant Branch Manager, Workshop Foreman, Leading Hand, Service Manager or an experienced senior technician who has already demonstrated strong leadership capability.

What matters is that you can lead people, understand the demands of a busy heavy vehicle workshop and take ownership of performance.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology - essential
• Strong heavy vehicle mechanical experience
• Previous workshop leadership or supervisory experience
• Confidence leading and developing technicians
• Strong planning and organisational skills
• A practical approach to improving workshop productivity
