At Solus, the Workshop Lead plays a pivotal role in how the workshop performs day to day. This position sits at the heart of the repair environment, supporting flow, quality and team confidence while keeping the focus on what matters most to customers.
The Workshop Lead works closely with the Production Lead, Parts Lead and Customer Service Lead to ensure the workshop operates as a joined-up team rather than individual functions. You help create clarity, consistency and momentum across the workshop, enabling technicians to do their best work and repairs to progress right first time.
This role is about influence - setting standards through presence, judgement and support, and contributing to a positive, collaborative culture within the workshop.
As Workshop Lead, you'll support the technical teams and the wider site by:
- Acting as a visible point of support within the workshop, promoting quality and right-first-time repairs
- Helping maintain clear priorities and smooth repair flow across disciplines
- Working alongside Production, Parts and Customer teams to remove blockers
- Encouraging consistent standards and best practice across the workshop
- Contributing to identifying training needs and opportunities to improve ways of working
- Helping ensure health, safety and process standards are understood and followed
A strong focus on quality, safety and customer outcomes is essential. Workshop Leads are trusted to help set the tone within the workshop and support how the site performs as a whole. This is a respected role with real impact on repair quality and team confidence.
