About the role

What you'll be doing?

  • Own your section: Delivering throughput, quality and flow targets. Keep cars moving and hit targets.
  • Identify disruptions early: Monitor workflows to spot breaks in flow such as growing queues, delays, or rework - before they escalate into larger systemic failures.
  • Root Cause Resolution: Solve the "why," not just the "what." Investigate the underlying causes of operational friction rather than treating surface-level symptoms, ensuring that solutions are permanent and effective.
  • Process Optimisation: Take decisive action to refine work methods, consistently seeking ways to eliminate waste and elevate the quality of every output.
  • Quality Standardisation: Ensure work is performed correctly every time by maintaining rigorous adherence to established processes and high-quality benchmarks.
  • High-Performance Leadership: Set clear expectations and build your team's capability, holding them accountable to the standards required for peak performance.
  • Strategic Escalation: Identify roadblocks outside your immediate control and push them upward promptly, ensuring that system-level issues are resolved rather than ignored.

Okay, let’s talk about you:

  • Proven experience leading teams in a fast-paced production or automotive environment
  • Ability to drive performance through people, not just manage tasks
  • Strong capability in setting expectations, holding standards, and addressing underperformance
  • Experience building team capability to improve output, quality and flow
  • Confidence operating on the floor — engaging, directing and supporting teams in real time
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a focus on identifying root causes
  • Exposure to lean / continuous improvement environments (highly regarded)
  • Ability to prioritise and adapt in a high-output, fast-changing environment
  • High attention to detail and commitment to quality standards
  • Valid NSW Driver’s Licence

What's in it for you?

  • We wouldn’t be a car business if we didn’t give you some $$ off our Carma cars, parts and NRMA cover.
  • Join our high-performing, forward-thinking team and help shake up car buying in Australia.
  • Join a team that values quality as much as quantity — we believe in working hard, having fun and delivering an exceptional product.
