Workshop Manager

We are seeking a Workshop Manager for our client Blue Cargo Oy for a permanent, full-time position in Leppävirta! Do you have a strong background in servicing and repairing heavy vehicles or heavy machinery, and would you like to take more responsibility for running a workshop’s everyday operations? In this role, you can make use of your technical expertise, lead daily work and ensure that jobs, people and schedules remain under control. This is a varied role combining practical knowledge of workshop work, work organisation and supervisory responsibility. Blue Cargo Oy is a Finnish family business and a versatile logistics operator with more than 30 years of experience in construction-industry transport. The company provides a comprehensive range of transport, lifting, installation, warehousing and project services, as well as solutions for demanding special transports in Finland and Scandinavia. Its operations are supported by a fleet of more than 50 company-owned vehicle combinations and a broad partner network. As part of the group, Blue Truck Service Oy is responsible for heavy-vehicle maintenance and workshop services. The workshop maintains and repairs Blue Cargo’s own fleet and also serves external heavy-vehicle customers. What does the work involve? As Workshop Manager, you will be responsible for the smooth daily operation of the workshop and ensure that jobs proceed as planned and in the right order. You will act as the mechanics’ supervisor, organise daily work and manage the overall picture for work on both the company’s own fleet and external customers’ vehicles. The work is mainly supervisory and office-based, but when needed you can also pick up tools and participate in maintenance and repair work. Working hours are Monday to Friday, 7:00–16:00. Your duties include: - Planning and organising the workshop’s daily operations - Directing the mechanics’ work and acting as their supervisor - Scheduling maintenance and repair work - Liaising with customers and the organisation - Coordinating matters relating to repairs, spare parts and vehicles - Participating in practical installation, maintenance and repair work when needed What do we expect from you? Success in the role requires vehicle mechanic training and strong practical experience in servicing and repairing heavy machinery or heavy vehicles. We are looking for someone who knows the everyday realities of workshop work and is ready to take the next step into a more responsible role. Previous experience in work supervision or supervisory roles is an advantage but not essential. The most important things are a strong background as a mechanic and motivation to develop in work supervision and people management. We particularly value: - Strong technical skills - An initiative-taking and responsible approach to work - Organisational ability and the ability to manage the overall picture - Good communication and collaboration skills - Readiness to take responsibility and make decisions What does the position offer? This is a permanent, full-time position in a stable Finnish family business, where you will join a varied heavy-vehicle operating environment. You will have responsibility, freedom in how you do your work and the opportunity to develop workshop operations. Blue Cargo’s extensive fleet and external customers make the work varied. The role offers an opportunity to move from hands-on work toward managing broader operations, work supervision and supervisory responsibility—without leaving practical work entirely behind. If you know workshop life and are ready for the next step in your career, this may be the right place for you! Application process and further information: - HR Mentor receives applications, responds to requests for further information and conducts the first conversation. - The client company then conducts follow-up interviews before making the final hiring decision. - The position will be filled by agreement as soon as a suitable person is found.
