• Ensure a safe, compliant, and productive work environment; model and enforce all safety policies and SOPs.
• Handle customer escalations and inquiries professionally; follow up on calls and emails from the Customer Service team and explain inspection results in plain language.
• Oversee accurate documentation and paperwork (e.g., emissions/safety forms, repair receipts) and submit incident/accident reports per SOP.
• Support hiring, onboarding, performance evaluations, and—when necessary—conduct fair, well-documented corrective actions.
• Execute program policies and state requirements, including waiver processes for qualifying vehicles.
• Track and communicate key metrics (wait times, throughput, quality, customer feedback) and lead continuous improvement initiatives.
• Provide coverage at other facilities as needed; perform other duties as assigned.

What Success Looks Like:

• Strong safety record and SOP compliance.
• Consistently meeting or exceeding station throughput, quality, and customer satisfaction goals.
• Engaged, well-coached team with clear performance feedback and development plans.
• Accurate, on-time reporting and documentation.

• High School Diploma or equivalent.
• Valid driver’s license.
• Ability to drive vehicles with a manual transmission.
• Ability to travel between facilities within your assigned coverage area during the workday
