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:

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.
