Job description

Ready to kick your fast-fit career into high gear? That's what happens when you join us as an Assistant Manager. Right from the off you'll develop your managerial skills so that you're ready to run your own Kwik Fit Centre when the opportunity arises. If you've earned your stripes in the auto servicing trade, joining us as an Assistant Manager will get you the recognition and support you deserve.

The Day to Day

You'll be involved in running all aspects of Centre business, supporting the Centre Manager and your team so they can be at the top of their game and keep our customers safe on the road.

Don't worry, they're just things you do already if you're the right fit for us.

Who we're looking for

We want to meet people who are as ambitious about delivering great service as they are about their careers. Maybe you'll have been an Assistant Manager elsewhere, or perhaps you'll be looking to step up. Either way, you'll be used shouldering responsibility and will have worked your way up in auto repair or fast-fit roles where you supported your team delivered amazing customer experiences. As much as we'll support your development, you'll also be proactive in developing management behaviours like accountability, curiosity and understanding-you know, the reasons why you're respected at work.
