Bodyshop Production Manager

At Solus, the Production Lead is one of the most influential roles on site. This position sits at the centre of operations, bringing together people, process and performance to ensure repairs progress safely, efficiently and right first time.

The Production Lead works in close partnership with the Customer Service Lead, Parts Lead and wider operational teams, creating clear alignment between the workshop, customer experience and site priorities. Rather than working in isolation, the role is about collaboration, decision‑making and setting direction for how the site performs day to day.

You play a key role in creating a calm, well‑organised environment where colleagues understand expectations, work together effectively and stay focused on what matters most to customers.

As Production Lead, you’ll take shared responsibility for site performance and repair delivery.

You’ll:

• Lead and support technical teams to deliver safe, high‑quality, right‑first‑time repairs
• Create clarity around priorities, workload and flow across the workshop
• Work closely with Customer Service and Parts Leads to remove blockers and maintain momentum
• Promote strong communication between technical and customer‑facing teams
• Use data, insight and observation to balance productivity, quality and customer outcomes
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, capability and team confidence
• Act as a visible, trusted leader who sets standards through behaviour and judgement

This is a role where leadership presence and sound decision‑making are as important as technical understanding.

Every Solus site is different, but our expectations of leadership are consistent. Production Leads are trusted partners in running the site, with genuine influence over outcomes and culture.

At Solus, you’ll find:

• A leadership role with real impact on customers and colleagues
• Strong collaboration across customer, parts and technical teams
• Opportunities to shape how sites operate and improve performance
