Workshop Manager

StudioXAG creates bold spaces that tell big stories. We create WOW moments for some of the world’s best-known brands, crafting immersive experiences that spark surprise, delight, awe and emotional connection.

We’re looking for a Workshop Manager to take ownership of the operational running of our East London workshop, creating the environment in which our makers can do their best work.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for ensuring the workshop is organised, safe, efficient and ready for production. From managing space, stock, facilities and equipment to coordinating project flow and resolving operational blockers, you’ll make sure the workshop is always prepared for what’s next.

You’ll bring structure to a busy, constantly changing environment, working closely with Production, Traffic and the Foreman to support the smooth delivery of projects.

You’ll also play a key role in developing the workshop for the future — improving systems, processes, facilities and capabilities while maintaining high standards of Health & Safety, housekeeping and operational efficiency.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Lead the day-to-day operational running and organisation of the workshop
• Own workshop space planning and project flow through the facility
• Manage stock, purchasing, equipment, machinery and workshop facilities
• Oversee maintenance, servicing and workshop improvement budgets
• Championing Health & Safety, including inductions, training, documentation and compliance
• Support the workshop team with clear processes, communication and operational guidance
• Work closely with Production, Traffic and the Foreman to anticipate requirements and resolve blockers
• Drive continuous improvement across workshop systems, workflow, facilities and capabilities
• Use operational and financial data to identify efficiencies, cost savings and investment opportunities
• Develop sustainable workshop practices around waste, recycling, reuse and resource efficiency
