Job Description

Workshop Manager
Hemel Hempstead
Competitive Salary + Excellent Benefits

\n

Ready to take full control of a busy, high-performing service operation?

\n

We are working with a leading plant hire business in Hemel Hempstead who are looking for a confident, hands-on Service Manager to lead from the front in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.

\n

This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit behind a desk, it's for a proactive leader who thrives on pace, takes ownership, and knows how to drive performance across a large engineering team.

\n

You will be responsible for a fleet of circa 1,200 units and leading a team of 25 fitters, including mobile engineers, ensuring everything runs efficiently, safely, and without delay.

\n

What you'll be doing:

\n
    \n
  • Taking full ownership of the service department and driving performance daily
  • \n
  • Leading, motivating, and developing a large team of fitters and engineers
  • \n
  • Keeping a large fleet operational, compliant, and ready to meet customer demand
  • \n
  • Managing servicing, breakdowns, inspections, and major repairs
  • \n
  • Working closely with the Workshop Supervisor to keep operations running smoothly
  • \n
  • Driving efficiency, reducing downtime, and identifying cost-saving opportunities
  • \n
  • Maintaining high standards of health & safety and compliance
  • \n
  • Communicating clearly with your team through briefings and toolbox talks
  • \n
\n

What we're looking for:

\n
    \n
  • A proven Service / Workshop / Engineering Manager within plant hire or similar
  • \n
  • A strong leader who can manage people, performance, and pressure
  • \n
  • Someone who thrives in a busy, fast-moving environment
  • \n
  • Organised, decisive, and solutions-focused
  • \n
  • Comfortable juggling multiple priorities without losing control of the detail
  • \n
  • Plant or construction equipment background highly desirable
  • \n
  • NVQ Level 3 in Plant Maintenance (or equivalent) a bonus
  • \n
\n

Why this role?

\n
    \n
  • Join a well-established, growing business with a strong reputation
  • \n
  • Take real ownership of a large-scale operation
  • \n
  • Lead an experienced and capable engineering team
  • \n
  • Be part of a business where you can genuinely make an impact
  • \n
\n

What's on offer:

\n
    \n
  • Competitive salary (DOE)
  • \n
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • \n
  • Ongoing training & development
  • \n
  • Subsidised gym membership
  • \n
  • Enhanced leave benefits
  • \n
  • Wellbeing support
  • \n
  • Regular company events
  • \n
\n

If you are a driven Service Manager who enjoys being in the thick of it and making things happen, this is the opportunity to step into a role where you can truly lead, influence, and deliver.
