About us:

We are the UK's leading vehicle rental specialists that you may not have heard of. Our branches cover the UK, Ireland and Spain, our workshops maintain and repair our own fleet. Within the UK we operate circa 49,000 Vans and 19,000 Cars so there is a good variety of vehicles to work on.

About you:

At heart, you are a qualified technical expert (level 3 NVQ or City and Guilds in Light Maintenance) with a solid workshop management background - your team value your expert technical knowledge, input and guidance. You have a common-sense business approach - you know what makes a great workshop and how to maximise efficiencies and opportunities to produce outstanding results. Above all, you are a people person with some management experience - you care about your team and understand that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always the best way to create a high-performing workshop team. You are a natural coach and love to share your knowledge with others - nothing gives you more job satisfaction than seeing a colleague you have supported doing well. You have a passion for customer service - you understand what is important to your customers and suppliers. If there is an issue, as Workshop Manager, you will know just how to solve it.
