Workshop Manager – Automotive Repair Centre

Full‑time | 8:30AM – 5:00PM | Competitive Salary | Chard

We are expanding our team and introducing a brand‑new Workshop Manager position to strengthen workflow, quality, and technician performance across our busy automotive repair centre. With 6 full‑time mechanics, 1 MOT tester, 1 apprentice and 2 admin staff, we are looking for a confident, organised, and technically strong leader who can keep the workshop running smoothly day‑to‑day.
This role is ideal for an experienced technician or senior workshop controller who enjoys leading a team, improving processes, and ensuring high standards of workmanship.

About the Role

The Workshop Manager will play a central role in the daily running of the workshop, focusing on:

Maintaining smooth workflow and supporting job allocation
Driving technician performance, quality, and efficiency
Providing hands‑on technical support (approx. 4 hours per day)
Ensuring jobs are completed safely, correctly, and on time
Supporting admin staff with technical clarity and accurate job documentation
Overseeing end‑of‑day standards, bay cleanliness, and job completion discipline

This is a leadership role on the workshop floor—not a customer service role. Customer communication is handled by our admin team, with the Workshop Manager providing technical input when needed.

Key ResponsibilitiesWorkshop Operations & Workflow

Support daily job allocation to ensure fair distribution and efficient workflow
Monitor job progress, identify delays, and adjust priorities throughout the day
Conduct morning start‑up checks and end‑of‑day pack‑down oversight
Ensure workshop organisation, cleanliness, and equipment readiness
Manage WIP and ensure jobs do not stagnate

Technical Leadership

Carry out approx. 4-6 hours of diagnostics/repair work daily
Provide guidance on complex faults and repair strategies
Conduct quality checks and manage comebacks professionally
Ensure all work follows OEM procedures and safety standards

Team Performance & Development

Lead, support, and motivate the team of technicians
Set and maintain performance, quality, and documentation standards
Coach and develop the apprentice, ensuring structured progression
Promote a positive, accountable workshop culture

Technical Support to Admin

Approve estimates from a technical perspective
Provide technical explanations for customer updates when required
Ensure job cards, notes, and diagnostic reports are clear and complete

Compliance & Safety

Enforce safe working practices and PPE use
Ensure environmental compliance (waste oil, batteries, tyres, refrigerant)
Maintain workshop safety checks and equipment standards

What We’re Looking For

Strong technical background (diagnostics experience preferred)
Previous experience in a workshop leadership or senior technician role
Excellent organisational and problem‑solving skills
Ability to lead a team with fairness, clarity, and confidence
Strong understanding of workflow, efficiency, and quality control
Professional, calm, and consistent approach to daily challenges
MOT tester qualification is desirable but not essential

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience
Monday–Friday working hours (8:30AM–5:00PM)
Supportive team environment with clear responsibilities
Opportunity to shape and develop a brand‑new role
Ongoing training and development opportunities

How to Apply

If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and help us build a more efficient, organised, and high‑performing workshop, we’d love to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a brief cover letter to [email protected].

Pay: £37,500.00-£45,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company pension
