Parts Manager

A Parts Manager handles daily operations in the parts department of a spare parts business, an automotive company or a mechanical workshop. You’ll supervise a team of staff and ensure production, service or sales targets are being met. Parts Managers may liaise with suppliers and customers and ensure all aspects of the department are running smoothly.

Parts Managers should have good problem solving abilities and be able to manage their time well. You’ll need to be a good leader and communicate well with staff and people outside your organisation. Customer service is important and you’ll need to be able to multitask. It’s important you are organised and can prioritise jobs when necessary.
