Workshop Lead

Want a role that gives you the best of both worlds - strategic coordination in the office and hands-on, on-the-road work with clients? If you're ready to lead from the front and stay on the tools while playing a key role in a family-run, community-driven auto business, we’ve got the role for you.

Stouch Auto isn’t your average mechanical workshop. We’re a proudly Brisbane-based, family-oriented business built on trust, technical excellence, and customer-first service. We’re looking for a seasoned and motivated Workshop Lead who’s ready to step into a role that blends leadership with hands-on know-how.

This isn’t about just keeping things moving - it’s about making things better. If you thrive on responsibility, love mentoring a team, and want your next job to actually feel meaningful, we want to hear from you.

What’s On Offer

● A salary package of up to $95,000 per year plus super and a work vehicle - we’re open to discussing the package for the right candidate.

● A permanent, salaried leadership role with variety, purpose and ownership, where you can create a schedule that works for you.

● The chance to lead a close-knit team, with the support of management and admin staff.

● Ongoing professional development across leadership, customer service, and technical training.

● The ability to shape workshop operations, grow your career, and make a real impact on a local family-run business.

● A collaborative, down-to-earth workplace that celebrates initiative, pride in your work, and supporting each other.

● Tools, resources, and on-the-ground support to help you lead with confidence.

What You’ll Be Doing

● Providing day-to-day leadership of the workshop, coordinating jobs, technicians, and schedules.

● Jumping in on the tools when needed - hands-on technical work is part of the role.

● Supervising apprentices, mentoring junior techs, and helping everyone lift their game.

● Ensuring safety, efficiency, and high-quality work across all workshop activities.

● Liaising with the Service Coordinator to manage job scheduling, parts ordering, and customer updates.

● Supporting the admin and customer service teams, from quotes to follow-ups.

● Representing the brand at industry networking events, community functions, and more.

● Keeping communication flowing between the workshop and leadership team - your insights will help guide the business forward.

Who You Are

● A qualified motor mechanic or technician (Cert III in Auto/Heavy Vehicle/Fitter & Turner or similar).

● 3+ years of experience on the tools, ideally with leading hand or supervisory experience.

● Confidence in working with light vehicles, experience with electric or heavy vehicles is a bonus.

● You hold an Open driver’s licence, with A/C licence required (MR licence a bonus).
