Workshop Lead – 4WD Vehicle Fit-Outs & Accessories

Brendale, Brisbane | Full-Time | Monday to Friday

Lead from the front. Take ownership. Deliver quality.

Teralume Industries is seeking an experienced, hands‑on Workshop Lead to oversee our Brendale vehicle fit‑out workshop.

Specialising in premium 4WD trays, canopies, vehicle accessories and integrated 12V power systems, Teralume is focused on delivering quality products backed by professional installation and exceptional workmanship.

We are seeking someone who can lead a team, coordinate workshop production and work alongside our fitters to ensure every vehicle is completed safely, efficiently, on schedule and to the highest standard.

This is not a position for someone who simply delegates work. We want a capable, motivated leader who takes ownership, solves problems, supports their team and sets the standard through their own workmanship and attitude.

Every vehicle leaving our workshop represents the Teralume brand. We expect our Workshop Lead to take pride in that responsibility.

- Maintain a clean, organised, safe and professional workshop environment.

- Ensure tools, equipment and workshop resources are maintained and used correctly.

- Identify improvements to build processes, installation methods and workshop efficiency.

- Work closely with warehouse, operations and management to coordinate parts availability, production schedules and delivery commitments.
