You're the technician others turn to when things get busy. You know how to solve problems, keep jobs moving and help the team get better.
Now you're ready to take the next step.
We're looking for a hands-on Workshop Controller who can lead from the floor, support our technicians and help run a workshop that takes pride in doing things properly.
You might already be running a workshop. Or you might be a strong Senior Technician or Leading Hand who's ready for more responsibility.
Either way, if you've got the technical ability, the right attitude and the drive to lead, we'd like to hear from you.

A genuine opportunity to develop towards workshop management
Work alongside an experienced Store Manager and ownership team who'll support your growth

Experience as a Workshop Controller, Leading Hand, Foreman or Senior Technician will put you in a strong position.
