Leading, supporting and holding the workshop team accountable
Planning and coordinating daily workshop workflow
Allocating jobs based on technician capability and workload

You don’t need to have the exact Workshop Manager title today.
You might currently be a Workshop Supervisor, Assistant Branch Manager, Workshop Foreman, Leading Hand, Service Manager or an experienced senior technician who has already demonstrated strong leadership capability.
What matters is that you can lead people, understand the demands of a busy heavy vehicle workshop and take ownership of performance.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology - essential
Strong heavy vehicle mechanical experience
Previous workshop leadership or supervisory experience
Confidence leading and developing technicians
Strong planning and organisational skills
A practical approach to improving workshop productivity
Good communication and problem-solving skills
