Grimsby, United Kingdom | Posted on 21/02/2025
We're looking for an experienced, adaptable Workshop Controller to join our team in Grimsby.
This is a fabulous opportunity to join a family-run business in the AM top 100 and represent one of our fantastic manufacturer partners.
We are looking for ambitious and driven individuals who are passionate about providing world-class customer service.
About the Business
Our business started over 60 years ago and has been in the same family ever since. From our very humble beginnings, we have grown to be in the top 50 car dealers in the country. Across our 26 businesses, we have a stable workforce of over 600 people, many of whom have been with us for years. We are always on the lookout for nice, genuine people who genuinely care about our customers and have a can-do attitude.
Our recruitment philosophy is that we recruit for attitude and train for skills, which means that although we’re often looking for specific technical skills, if you like working with customers and you are attracted by our Family Values of Fit, Fun, Family, and Fearless, you’ll fit in well here and we’d like to hear from you even if you have no experience in the automotive industry.
We offer manufacturer training for product knowledge to give you the technical skills you need, and we work with our own world-class sales trainer who will give you everything you need to be a “top one percenter.”
We’ll expect you to work hard, but in return, we’ll offer you an industry-leading package, flexible working hours, and a real opportunity to progress: we prefer to promote from within, and you will see this in every one of our sites. You must possess an outrageous ambition to want to be the best and you won’t let anyone stop you.
About You
This is an exciting challenge for an experienced Workshop Controller with excellent management skills. Your main focus will be to supervise and prioritize the Technicians in a very busy workshop. You will be tasked with supervising a team of Technicians to ensure that the work is done to high brand standards whilst adhering to departmental budgets and timescales. It will be your job to make sure the vehicle goes through the workshop in a seamless manner, liaising with the Service Advisors to ensure the customer is kept fully up to date. It is a busy service department that will offer you the opportunity to utilize your skills and experience to help drive the department forward.
We are looking for someone with a like-for-like background, so experience within a Workshop Controller role will be advantageous. However, we may also consider a strong candidate who wants to move up or someone with experience who can fit straight in.
We would like you to have strong people management skills and be able to demonstrate that you can control a workshop of Technicians efficiently.
Quality Control experience would also be advantageous.
What We Offer
* World-class training provided from our own trainer and our brand partners.
* We offer uncapped commission for all the add-on products you sell.
* 30 days annual leave inclusive of 8 bank holidays, with average commission paid during your annual leave.
* Preferential rates for servicing and repairs on your family and friend’s cars.
* Cycle to work scheme.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, religion, disability, or other characteristics.
