• 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.

• Valid driver’s license.

• Ability to drive vehicles with a manual transmission.
