This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced & qualified Workshop Controller to join one of the UK’s leading vehicle rental specialists in our site in Leicester.
Your role, as Workshop Controller, is about supporting our customers to deliver on their business promises. Your aim is ensuring we get their vehicle back on the road safely and in quick time.
With an ever-changing workload, our modern workshop is equipped with the latest technology and manufacturer-specific diagnostic tools. You have a central role to play in the smooth running of the workshop by maximising the profitability, productivity, and efficiency of the workshop team. You are also the decision-maker for the technicians on recharge and warranty opportunities.
Leicester is a well-established branch with a strong team of 18 dedicated staff, serving a diverse customer base, including Local Councils, major utility companies, Boots HQ, YU Group, DHL, National Accounts, and several local businesses.
Key to your success is your ability to ensure the workshop produces work that complies with the highest technical and quality standards and, above all, helps us deliver on our service commitment to customers.
About you
* You are a qualified technician with a solid workshop background - your colleagues value your technical knowledge and understanding of jobs from routine servicing and maintenance to more complex diagnostics.
* 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.
* Above all, you are a people person - you care about those around you and understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always the best way to create a high-performing workshop team.
* You get involved in every part of our business – you take pride being part of the Northgate team and are keen to help colleagues with a hands-on, can-do approach to getting things done.
* You have a passion for customer service - you understand what is important to your customers and suppliers. If there is an issue, as Workshop Controller, you will know just how to solve it.
As a Workshop Controller with Northgate Vehicle Hire, we offer:
* A fantastic quarterly bonus scheme up to £2,258 pa
* 24 days annual leave rising with service (+ bank holidays) and an extra day’s leave to celebrate your birthday
* Free life assurance
* Well-being services (incl. 24/7 GP service, mental health support and physiotherapy + Health Cash Plan, Dental Plan & Travel Insurance)
* Exclusive colleague-only vehicle-leasing schemes
* Pension & save-as-you-earn share scheme
* Our Benefits App offering unlimited access to a huge range of retailer discounts and cashback deals (incl. Tesco, Asda, Currys, B&Q & Wickes to name just a few)
* We're excited to have recently launched Wagestream for all our colleagues - a Financial Wellbeing app that gives you more control over your pay.
