This is a new position with increased accountability and a key role in the day‑to‑day operation of Council’s fleet workshops.
As Workshop Supervisor, you will be responsible for the safe, efficient and compliant operation of the Coonabarabran and Coolah workshops. The role focuses on supervising and coordinating work, not performing mechanic duties.
You’ll oversee teams maintaining and repairing Council’s light and heavy vehicles, plant, equipment and small tools, ensuring work is completed safely, on time and in line with legislative, inspection and Council requirements. You’ll also support Council’s operation as an authorised inspection station, including ensuring annual inspections and registrations are completed on time.
This role works across both workshops and is based at the Coonabarabran Workshop.
