Full Job Description

This is a great opportunity to join one of the UK's leading vehicle rental specialists as a Parts Controller in our busy site in Glasgow.

Our Glasgow branch is a large, high-profile site which delivers maintenance, servicing and warranty work for a fleet of c2500 vehicles in fleet, and one of the busiest workshops in the country. As the lead branch in Scotland, it also provides valuable support to a further c.2000 vehicles from our Broxburn, Stirling and Aberdeen branches in the surrounding network.

In this role you will be supporting the Workshop Manager in the running of the internal parts department, based within the workshop. This includes effectively maintaining accurate parts stock levels which allows our technicians to be productive and efficient. You will be liaising with external suppliers and managing those relationships moving forward.

  • You come from a fast-paced, customer-focused background - preferably from a parts environment within the automotive industry, whether that be dealership, accident repair or workshop.
