Run a workshop the way it should be run

Service Manager – Moree

Lead our largest workshop. Build a strong team. Deliver quality outcomes.

Kenway & Clark is a locally owned agricultural machinery dealer with nine branches across NSW and Southern Queensland. For more than 65 years, we’ve supported our customers with quality Case IH machinery and reliable aftersales service.

We’re looking for an experienced Service Manager to lead the largest workshop in our group. You’ll be responsible for workshop performance, customer outcomes and developing a capable, high-performing team.

The position has become available due to an internal transfer and offers the opportunity to take ownership of an established operation within a stable, locally owned business.

About You

You’re a strong people leader who knows that a successful workshop is built on good planning, clear communication, accountability and quality workmanship. You’re organised, decisive and capable of keeping a busy workshop running efficiently while developing the people around you.

You’ll bring:

  • Experience leading and developing workshop teams
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage workflow in a busy service environment
  • Commercial awareness, including workshop efficiency, job costing and accurate invoicing
  • A commitment to quality workmanship and continuous improvement
  • Confidence to set expectations and manage performance constructively
  • A strong technical and diagnostic background in agricultural, construction or heavy equipment
  • A practical, customer-focused approach
  • Confidence using workshop management systems (Pentana or ERAPower experience is advantageous)

If you’ve successfully led workshop teams and are ready to step into a larger leadership role, we’d like to hear from you.

Success in the role comes from leading people well, planning work effectively and maintaining high standards of quality, safety and customer service. You’ll be responsible for ensuring work is scheduled efficiently, resources are used effectively and the workshop operates in a productive, organised manner.

You’ll work closely with our Parts and Sales teams to deliver efficient, professional customer service while maintaining high standards of safety, quality and productivity.

We’re interested in experienced Service Managers, Workshop Managers or other proven workshop leaders from agricultural, construction or heavy equipment dealerships who are ready for their next challenge.
