You’ll work closely with technicians, coordinate with the Regional Manager, and partner with key stakeholders to scale shop production in line with company goals.

Beyond production, this role carries significant responsibility for team development and safety. You’ll conduct one-on-one coaching sessions, monitor training needs, oversee scheduling, and ensure all staff are following Tesla’s safety program and regulations. Strong communication and collaboration are central to how this team operates.

Final pay offered may vary depending on skills, experience, and market location.
