Monitor vehicle progress throughout the day, identify bottlenecks early, and remove obstacles affecting production. Coordinate repair sequencing and technician assignments based on skill, capacity, parts availability, and promised completion dates. Drive improvement in cycle time, touch time, productivity, efficiency, throughput, and on-time delivery. Lead daily production discussions and maintain clear accountability for the next step on every active repair.

Help identify missed damage and required repair operations, support supplement development, and reduce unnecessary work stoppages. Verify required OEM repair procedures and supporting documentation are identified and incorporated into repair plans. Help maintain a consistent blueprinting process that improves repair-plan accuracy and reduces supplements and downstream delays. Quality Control & OEM Compliance Perform in-process quality-control checks at critical stages of the repair, including before paint and before delivery. Verify repairs are completed according to documented OEM procedures, manufacturer requirements, and shop standards. Hold work when safety, quality, documentation, or OEM compliance is in question and ensure concerns are corrected before the vehicle advances.

Match available labor capacity to incoming and active work to keep production balanced and prevent avoidable bottlenecks. Use shop-management data and KPIs to identify trends, improve processes, and support production and financial goals. Work closely with estimating, parts, paint, detail, and leadership so each department is aligned around the repair plan and delivery commitment. Equipment, Safety & Operational Support Help maintain a safe, clean, organized, and professional production environment in accordance with company and applicable safety requirements. Identify tooling, equipment, training, and supply needs and recommend improvements that support safety, quality, efficiency, or capacity. Support certification requirements, audit readiness, training records, and ongoing operational compliance. Contribute production, labor, quality, training, and operational insight to reporting and improvement planning.

Demonstrated ability to organize workflow, prioritize competing demands, and keep multiple repairs moving simultaneously.

Comfort using estimating, production-management, and reporting systems to make data-informed decisions. Strong attention to detail, urgency, follow-through, and communication. Commitment to safe, documented, high-quality repairs and continuous improvement. Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record as required for the position.
