Branch Manager Auto Body Repair

More than you expect. Because a responsible position entails not only a solid set of tasks, but also an offer that is right. Count on:

• A 40-hour job, with an excellent salary that matches your experience and the responsibility you carry. On top of that, you will receive an attractive bonus linked to the results of your branch.

• No fixed number of vacation days, but freedom and trust. You decide for yourself how much vacation you take and when you do it. In doing so, you naturally take your team, the schedule, and the continuity of the branch into account.

• A representative company car that you may also drive privately. You will also receive a laptop and phone, so that you have everything at hand to do your job well.

• A strong total package. Think of a good pension scheme, collective health insurance, € 15,- discount per month on your gym membership, and attractive employee benefits on cars, maintenance, damage repair, insurance, and rental.

• The freedom to leave your mark on Lelystad. You get space to make decisions, improve processes, and move the branch forward. You can also follow education and training in the fields of leadership, technology, quality, and business management.

What can you expect when you work with us? This, and more.

• More impact. You let people grow, processes run smarter, and quality, customer satisfaction, and results reinforce each other. This is how you build a branch every day that performs today and stands even stronger tomorrow.

• More job satisfaction. Great colleagues? Check. An open and accessible atmosphere? Double check. Together, we get the job done.

• More space. To make decisions, implement improvements, and leave your mark on the branch. You will receive the trust and responsibility to move Lelystad forward.

Plus: more challenge. In addition to universal repair, we work in Lelystad on brand-recognized repair for Corvette, Hongqi, Lynk & Co, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, Polestar, smart, and Volvo. That means specialist damage repair, complex technology, and a level of quality that you, together with the team, will continue to steer sharply.

More for you. We don't say that for nothing.

Twelve professionals, a workshop full of challenging damages, and a branch that is running well. In Lelystad, you are not stepping in to clear up a mess, but to build further. To a strong team, smart processes, and results that will still stand tomorrow. You lead the entire branch and ensure that people, quality, customers, and results move in the same direction. That cannot be achieved from behind a closed office door. You know what is happening on the floor, are approachable for colleagues and customers, and step in when necessary. And because the branch meets the Plusnorm BOVAG Recognized Auto Body Repair standard, the bar is set just a little higher. Exactly how you like it. Of course, you are not alone: from the MT and the head office, you receive the knowledge, support, and backing to make your plans a reality.

• A schedule with a mind of its own? You will get it back in line. You bring together staffing, workload, transport, parts, and lead times. From intake and damage calculation to repair, final inspection, and delivery: you maintain oversight and adjust before a small delay becomes a big problem.

• Good professionals are worth their weight in gold. You give the team direction, distribute responsibilities, and help colleagues to grow further. Successes receive attention, you do not postpone difficult conversations, and agreements are there to be kept.

• Quality always takes priority. You ensure that damages are repaired according to factory specifications and the requirements of the Plusnorm BOVAG Recognized Auto Body Repair. Safety, health and safety (Arbo), environment, file quality, professional competence, and audits are also in good hands with you.

• Positive figures are no coincidence. You steer on turnover, margin, productivity, efficiency, lead time, work in progress, and customer satisfaction. Do you see an opportunity or is a result lagging? Then you investigate what is happening and, together with the team, take the next step.

• Close to the trade, with an eye for the world around it. You know what is happening at the reception and in the workshop and find it no problem to personally assist a customer or take on a calculation during busy periods. Even outside the branch, you are a pleasant and visible interlocutor for dealer colleagues, insurers, leasing companies, damage experts, suppliers, and other partners. You monitor agreements, handle complaints professionally, and build relationships that continue to work.

A glimpse of your duties...

"We consciously choose quality and craftsmanship. That means our people have the space to repair damages as they should be. With attention, and according to their vision as well as the manufacturer's guideline."

- Guus Baris, director Hedin Automotive Schadeherstel

At our damage repair company in Lelystad, you will work with twelve dedicated colleagues. The atmosphere in short? Tackling things together, making progress, laughing in between, and truly smashing it together. As colleagues, we all have our own specialty. But we work as one team toward the same result: cars that are in top condition again, as if they just rolled out of the factory. After a full week, there is regularly time on Friday for a refreshing drink, ice cream, or fries. Joining in is welcome, nothing is mandatory.
