So if you're a big-picture thinker, who can keep a team humming along keep reading.

Key Responsibilities

  • Production & Quality Oversight
  • Coordinate daily workflow with technicians to ensure smooth, efficient operations (someone else can handle appointments—don't worry).
  • Keep an eagle eye on quality standards, ensuring each vehicle leaves with a job well done and a customer who feels cared for.
  • Identify production bottlenecks or process gaps, then roll out improvements that keep jobs on track and customers smiling.

  • Implement company policies, procedures, and safety guidelines—like it's second nature.
  • Maintain facility cleanliness and organization; nobody wants to trip over spare tires on their way to the water cooler.
  • Coordinate with vendors and suppliers to keep necessary stock on hand for smooth operations (again, you won't be ordering spark plugs by size, just making sure the shelves stay stocked).
  • Performance Tracking & Reporting
  • Keep a close watch on metrics like labor efficiency, turnaround time, and revenue performance.
  • Present regular updates to leadership, highlighting successes, challenges, and proposed solutions.
  • Forecast staffing needs and align resources so we're neither short-staffed nor overstaffed—just the right fit for hitting goals.
