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

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.
