You will be responsible for overseeing the organisation and management of the four workshops, ensuring that professional standards of work and legal compliance are continuously achieved and maintained, that standards of workshop efficiency and productivity are optimised, downtime minimised and financial targets are achieved.

You will have experience of supervising a large team, ideally in a vehicle workshop environment, be self motivated, have a proven track record of meeting deadlines and have the ability to communicate and work effectively with a variety of stakeholders including internal and external customers.
