Due to business expansion, our client, a multi-award-winning family-run independent service centre based in the Gloucester region, is currently looking for a Workshop Manager for their busy workshop that has become well known for quality and great customer service over the last 20 years.

Reporting to the Business Owner and working alongside a service reception team, your key responsibilities as a Workshop Manager will include: 
 
  • Managing a team of 3/4 Vehicle Technicians and their schedules. 
  • Assisting in the workshop in a Vehicle Technician's absence or if there's a complex technical issue with a vehicle. 
  • Monitor the workshop and keep customers informed of their vehicle's progress. 
  • Sourcing and supply parts.
  • Competition of all relevant paperwork, including returns/credits and MOT administration.
  • Covering the service reception desk in a Service Advisor's absence. 
  • Going through work to be carried out on customers' vehicles and pricing the work accordingly.
  • Other general ad-hoc duties when required.

To be eligible, you will live within a reasonable commuting distance of Staverton and will need to have managed a busy and successful automotive workshop, ideally including an MOT centre. As you will be required to assist in the workshop on occasions, you will need to demonstrate a high level of technical ability, either through an IMI/NVQ Level 3 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance and Repair or through demonstrating relevant "practical" experience as a Vehicle Technician over several years. You will also have a great customer-facing experience, can lead from the front, and be able to energise, motivate and develop your team. IT literacy and a UK driving licence with minimal points are also essential.

  • Starting salary up to £46-50,000 per annum (negotiable pending experience).
  • 20 days annual leave plus the 8 bank holidays.

  • Workplace pension scheme.
  • Fantastic career prospects with a long-established, multi-award-winning business.
