This is an exciting opportunity for a talented Workshop Manager to join one of the UK’s leading vehicle rental specialists, heading the technical team at our busy site in Coventry which operates a large fleet made up of light commercial vehicles & small to prestige cars.
Your role, as Workshop Manager, is about supporting our customers to deliver on their business promises. Your aim; ensuring we get their vehicle back on the road safely and in quick time.
Accountable for day-to-day performance across all aspects of the workshop, we are looking to you to develop a results-focused MVT and workshop team that complies with the highest technical and quality standards, drive innovation and improvement to minimise vehicle downtime and, above all, deliver on our service commitment to customers.
As Workshop Manager, we offer:

About you:
6. At heart, you are a qualified technical expert (level 3 NVQ or City and Guilds in Light Maintenance) with a solid workshop management background - your team value your expert technical knowledge, input and guidance.
7. You have a common-sense business approach - you know what makes a great workshop and how to maximise efficiencies and opportunities to produce outstanding results.
8. Above all, you are a people person - you care about your team and understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always the best way to create a high-performing workshop team.
9. You are a natural coach and love to share your knowledge with others - nothing gives you more job satisfaction than seeing a colleague you have supported doing well.
