Workshop Manager
My client is looking for an experienced Workshop Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day running of their engineering workshop, leading practical build activities and ensuring work is completed safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone with a strong practical engineering background who is comfortable managing workshop activity while still getting involved in assembly, wiring and electro-mechanical build work.
The Role
- Managing the day-to-day operation of the workshop and coordinating engineering activities.
- Planning and prioritising build work to ensure projects are delivered on time.
- Supporting the assembly, integration and testing of electro-mechanical systems.
- Carrying out and overseeing electrical wiring, soldering and cable assembly.
- Ensuring equipment and systems are built accurately in line with drawings, specifications and quality requirements.
- Supporting fault-finding, troubleshooting and practical engineering problem-solving.
- Managing workshop tools, equipment, materials and stock levels.
- Maintaining high standards of health and safety, housekeeping and workshop organisation.
- Working closely with engineering, production and project teams to support prototype and production builds.
- Identifying opportunities to improve workshop processes, quality and efficiency.
About You
- Strong practical engineering skills, including electrical wiring, soldering, cable assembly and electro-mechanical integration.
- Previous experience working within an engineering workshop, production or manufacturing environment.
- Experience supervising or managing workshop staff would be highly advantageous.
- The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, wiring diagrams and technical documentation.
- Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
- Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to support the team where required.
- A strong understanding of workshop safety and good engineering practice.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced engineer or workshop supervisor looking to step into a broader management position within a hands-on engineering environment.
