Workshop Manager & Lead Vehicle Technician Required in Cheltenham
  • Salary: Between £36-45,000 per annum, pending experience. 
  • Hours: 8:30am-5:30pm Monday to Friday with flexibility on these hours. 
 Our client, an independent automotive service centre situated in Cheltenham that specialises in light commercial vehicles, is currently looking to recruit a Workshop Manager/Lead Vehicle Technician for their business.
 
Reporting to the Business Owner and working as part of a friendly workshop team, your key responsibilities will include:
  • Managing and scheduling the workshop diary.
  • Overseeing and carrying out mechanical work as required (primarily vehicle preparation, servicing, repairs, diagnostics, and occasional retail work).
  • Ordering parts and managing suppliers.
  • Dealing with inbound calls and customer queries relating to workshop work.
  • Invoicing customers and handling workshop administration.
  • Managing standards, workflow, and priorities across internal, external, and warranty jobs.
To be eligible, you will need to be a highly competent Vehicle Technician with experience supervising or managing a workshop team. So if you run your own garage and no longer want the hassle of doing so, or if you're someone senior who is ready to step up into a role with real autonomy and responsibility, but without the financial exposure of ownership, then we want to hear from you!

Overall, you must be able to produce a high quality of work in a busy workshop environment and be motivated to work towards targets set for your team. You will also have a great customer-facing experience in a relevant role, and have the ability to lead from the front, energise, motivate and develop your team. IT literacy and a UK driving licence with minimal points are also essential.

What's in it for you? For your hard work as a Workshop Manager/Lead Vehicle Technician, our client is offering…
  • Starting salary between £36-45,000 per annum, pending experience.
  • Optional overtime, including Saturdays (ideally 1 in 4 from 9:30am-12:30pm), subject to availability.
  • 28 days annual leave (including the bank holidays).
  • Workplace pension scheme.
  • Access to in-house technical training and development.
  • Private health coverage.
  • Opportunity to work with a friendly local garage operating for over 45 years.
  • Working hours from 8:30am-5:30pm Monday to Friday with flexibilitiy on these hours.
