• Manage workshop workflow, priorities and production schedules

• Liaise with Project Managers, suppliers and internal stakeholders

• Drive continuous improvement across safety, quality and productivity

What we're looking for:

• Current Electrical Licence (essential)

• Strong electrical trade background

• Experience managing teams in a workshop, production or construction environment
