The Opportunity

Are you a skilled Heavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic with a passion for leadership, operational excellence, and developing people? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same?

At Cleanaway, we're searching for an exceptional Workshop Supervisor to take ownership of a major fleet maintenance operation and lead a team committed to safety, reliability, and performance at our Erskine Park and Glendenning Workshops. This is more than a workshop role—it's an opportunity to influence business outcomes, build high-performing teams, and play a critical role in keeping one of Australia's largest essential service fleets moving.

Key Responsibilities

Every day, our fleet supports communities across Australia. As Workshop Supervisor, you'll be at the heart of that operation—leading people, improving processes, and ensuring our vehicles are safe, compliant, and ready to perform.

• Lead and oversee daily workshop operations, including scheduling, job allocation, and workflow management through Leading Hands
• Participate in daily operational huddles with the Glendenning and Erskin park NSW site leadership team
• Ensure fleet availability targets are achieved while minimising vehicle downtime
• Liaise regularly with external vendors and service providers to coordinate repairs and maintenance activities
• Monitor workshop productivity, labour utilisation, and repair turnaround times
• Lead, coach, and develop technicians and workshop employees to build a high-performing and engaged team culture
• Manage performance, training, succession planning, and workforce capability
• Ensure all servicing, maintenance, and repair activities meet manufacturer specifications and legislative requirements
• Maintain compliance with safety, environmental, NHVR, and regulatory standards
• Oversee preventative maintenance programs to optimise fleet reliability
• Manage workshop budgets, parts inventory, external repair costs, and expenditure controls
• Identify opportunities for operational efficiencies and continuous improvement
• Champion workplace health and safety practices and ensure adherence to company policies
• Monitor and report on key operational KPIs
• Manage vehicle registration compliance and coordinate annual inspections to ensure NHVR scheme compliance

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• • Heavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic qualification
  • Proven experience in heavy vehicle maintenance, fleet operations, or workshop management
  • Strong leadership experience
  • Excellent planning, communication and stakeholder management skills

Success in this Role

You are a proactive and safety-focused leader who combines strong technical knowledge with effective people leadership. You thrive in a fast-paced operational environment, build high-performing teams, and are passionate about delivering reliable fleet performance while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.
