Lead & Develop the Team

• Lead, manage, coach, and develop Parts Department employees.
• Participate in hiring, onboarding, training, development, and performance management.
• Set clear expectations and provide ongoing feedback focused on productivity, accuracy, customer service, safety, sales, and accountability.
