Pre-Delivery & Used Car Reconditioning Manager

Pre-Delivery & Used Car Reconditioning Manager

Craig Burgess Motor Group | Brisbane

Take ownership. Lead the team. Keep the cars moving.

Craig Burgess Motor Group is looking for an experienced Pre-Delivery & Used Car Reconditioning Manager to take charge of a busy and important part of our dealership operation.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your day sitting behind a desk. We need someone who enjoys being in the middle of the action, running the workshop, managing the team, solving problems and making sure vehicles are ready when our customers need them.

You'll have responsibility for both new vehicle pre-delivery and our Used Car Reconditioning Team, giving you genuine ownership of the vehicle preparation process from start to finish.

If you know dealership operations, understand the pressure of delivery deadlines and get satisfaction from running a tight, productive operation, we'd like to hear from you.

What you'll be taking ownership of

You'll lead the day-to-day Pre-Delivery and Used Car Reconditioning operation, working closely with our Sales, Service and Parts teams to keep vehicles moving.

Your role will include:

Leading and managing the Pre-Delivery and Used Car Reconditioning teams

Planning the daily workload around vehicle deliveries and sales priorities

Managing used vehicles through the reconditioning process so they're front-line ready as quickly as possible

Working directly with Sales Managers to prioritise urgent vehicles

Allocating work to technicians and monitoring productivity and efficiency

Raising, costing and closing repair orders

Managing internal, policy and departmental repair orders

Coordinating repairs, parts, recalls and manufacturer campaigns





Keeping on top of back-ordered parts and outstanding work

Managing workshop consumables and purchase orders

Completing daily reporting and actioning anything holding vehicles up

Maintaining high standards across quality, presentation and workshop safety

Building a team culture focused on accountability, urgency and getting the job done

Who we're looking for

Dealership experience is a must.

We're looking for someone who already understands how a busy automotive operation works. You'll ideally have experience in Pre-Delivery, Used Car Reconditioning, Workshop Management or a similar dealership leadership role.

You'll be someone who can walk into the department, understand what's happening and quickly work out what needs to happen next.

You'll also bring strong people leadership, solid workshop and repair-order knowledge, excellent organisation and the confidence to work with Sales Managers and other department leaders.

Most importantly, you're someone who takes ownership. When there's a problem, you don't wait for someone else to fix it, you find a solution and keep things moving.

A current Australian driver's licence is required.

Why this role?

This is an opportunity to take control of an area that has a direct impact on our sales teams, our dealerships and ultimately our customers.

You'll have a team to lead, responsibility to make decisions and the opportunity to put your own stamp on how the department operates.

We're not looking for someone to simply maintain the status quo. We want someone who can lead the operation, improve the process and build a department they're proud to run.

If you're an experienced automotive operator who loves a fast-paced dealership workplace and knows how to get cars through the workshop and onto the road, this could be your next move.
