This is a hands-on leadership position, ideal for an experienced Senior Technician or existing Workshop Controller looking to take the next step in their career.

You will be responsible for coordinating the daily operation of our workshop, ensuring work is completed efficiently, safely and to the highest standard. Alongside managing workflow, you will provide technical support to technicians, maintain quality control and work closely with our Service Advisors and Parts department to keep vehicles moving through the workshop.

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

You will be an experienced automotive professional with strong technical knowledge and proven leadership skills.

Essential

Minimum of 5 years' experience within a busy automotive workshop.
Previous experience as a Senior Technician, Workshop Controller, Foreman or Team Leader an advantage.

Excellent organisational and communication skills.
The ability to motivate and lead a busy workshop team.
A full UK driving licence.

Desirable

MOT Tester licence.
Experience using workshop management systems.
Experience working within a fast-paced independent garage or franchised dealership.

What We Offer

Competitive basic salary of £39,000 per annum.
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.

If you're an experienced Workshop Controller or Foreman—or a Senior Technician ready to step into a leadership role—we'd love to hear from you.
