What does the job look like?
An exciting opportunity is available for a State Workshop Manager to lead our modern workshop facility at Erskine Park, Sydney.
This pivotal leadership role is similar to running a branch of a business, as you will oversee the entire operation of the site with support from a skilled team and a strong focus on profit and loss management.
You will be responsible for managing day-to-day workshop activities, driving continuous improvement, and ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality assurance, and customer service, all while maintaining tight control over financial performance and cost efficiency.
You will also maintain strong relationships with fleet management teams, suppliers, and contractors, and collaborate with senior leadership to enhance performance and fleet productivity. With hands-on involvement, you will motivate and guide a diverse team of service advisors, mechanics, and apprentices, fostering a culture of safety, operational excellence, and financial accountability throughout the workshop.
Key areas:
- Ensure compliance with organisational processes, policies, and procedures.
- Maintain communication with fleet management teams, suppliers, and contractors.
- Manage service delivery to meet individual contract requirements.
- Collaborate with leadership teams to enhance performance and improve fleet productivity.
- Promote a culture of safety first.
