Workshop Manager

Genome Design is a Porsche specialist workshop based at The Motorist in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Leeds. A genuine destination for car enthusiasts, with an on-site restaurant, drivers' lounge, shop, and a community of Porsche and performance car owners passing through every day, alongside a working facility most main dealers are unable to match.

We're looking for a Workshop Manager who brings real passion for the Porsche brand and proven experience running or controlling a workshop environment. Whether your background is workshop scheduling, service management, or operational control, what matters most is that you understand how a workshop should run at a high standard. Tools or technician experience is a strong advantage, but it's not the requirement.

This is about management, standards, and the ability to keep a busy workshop running exactly as it should.

• Planning and running the daily workshop schedule across servicing, diagnostics, ECU calibration, and performance builds
• Managing and developing the technician team: allocation, standards, training, accountability
• Quality control on every job before it leaves the workshop
• Keeping customers in the loop on every job, daily
• Overseeing parts and supplier relationships so the right components are on the shelf when they're needed
• Owning warranty administration for our Tuning Approved Warranty product
• Working closely with the owner on workshop capacity, throughput, and standards as we grow

• Genuine passion for the Porsche brand and performance car culture
• Proven experience in a workshop control, coordination, or management role
• Hands‑on tools or technician experience is an advantage, not a requirement
• The organisational instinct to run a schedule under pressure without dropping quality
• The confidence to manage people, suppliers, and customers, and to push back when standards slip
• Direct Porsche factory or franchised dealer background
• Prior experience supervising or mentoring a workshop team
• Familiarity with ECU/performance tuning workflows or warranty administration

• A working environment unlike a typical workshop: on-site restaurant, drivers' lounge, and a genuine enthusiast community at The Motorist
• Access to premium facilities: in-house Porsche Master Technician, 4000whp hub dyno, and modern diagnostic and calibration equipment
• Involvement in a broad and interesting range of work, from routine servicing to performance builds and GT platform cars
• Real progression as the business grows
