- Assign and prioritize repair work for the maintenance team and provide technical guidance to mechanics
- Respond to vehicle breakdowns and get vehicles back in service quickly and safely
- Manage relationships with dealers, specialty shops, and outside vendors when work needs to be outsourced
- Keep maintenance records, parts inventory, and shop equipment organized and accurate
- Maintain a clean, safe, well-run shop and lead by example on safety practices
