Manage the repair, maintenance and testing of a high-volume heavy vehicle fleet and associated mechanical and electrical components
Monitor workflow and workshop priorities to minimise downtime and keep the fleet moving
Provide technical support to the team and assist with breakdowns and call-outs when required
Raise and process repair and purchase orders and oversee stock and receivables
Ensure workshop documentation, maintenance records and compliance requirements are completed accurately and on time
Work closely with operational teams to respond to changing fleet and maintenance priorities
About You:
You're an experienced workshop leader who understands that successful operations are built on strong people, clear expectations, and a culture of continuous improvement.




You know how to balance workshop demands, fleet availability, team development, and operational priorities while maintaining high standards of safety and workmanship.
To be successful, you'll bring:
Previous experience leading a workshop, fleet maintenance, or heavy vehicle operation
A Heavy Vehicle Mechanical Trade Qualification or significant industry experience
Proven success leading, coaching, and developing tradespeople and apprentices
Experience within transport, logistics, fleet, agricultural, or related industries
