Join One of the UK’s Most Exciting Automotive Businesses
At Everyman Driving Experiences, we don’t just maintain vehicles — we prepare some of the most exciting machines in the country for unforgettable driving experiences.
As the UK’s largest and fastest-growing provider of driving experience events, our fleet includes over 300 vehicles ranging from supercars and classics to movie cars, HGVs and specialist vehicles.

You will oversee daily workshop operations, manage and develop a team of technicians and valeters, and ensure our fleet remains safe, reliable, presentable and event-ready at all times.
Working closely with senior operational management, you will play a key role in improving efficiency, vehicle turnaround times, workshop processes and overall performance standards.

- Maintain high standards of workshop safety, cleanliness and organisation
- Attend operational meetings and represent the workshop department
- Drive improvements in productivity, uptime and vehicle readiness
What We’re Looking For
- Previous experience as a Workshop Manager, Workshop Supervisor or similar leadership role
- Strong mechanical and technical knowledge across automotive vehicles
- A confident leader who can motivate and support a team
- Organised, proactive and calm under pressure
- Experience improving workshop processes and efficiency
- Commercial awareness with a focus on uptime and operational performance
- Full UK driving licence with no more than 6 points
