Maintain high standards of health, safety and housekeeping.
Liaise with Service Advisors regarding repair progress, additional work and customer expectations.
Ensure the correct parts are ordered, available and fitted efficiently.
Monitor workshop performance, minimise downtime and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

About You

A full UK driving licence.

Desirable

Achievable On-Target Earnings (OTE) of £44,500+ through a performance-related bonus scheme.
Staff discount on servicing, repairs and parts.
Ongoing technical training and career development.
Career progression opportunities.
Workplace pension.
20 days' annual leave plus Bank Holidays.
Friendly, supportive working environment within a successful family-run business.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join a thriving, well-established independent garage where you'll have the autonomy to lead a busy workshop, develop a skilled team and make a real impact on performance.
