About This Role
This is a hands-on supervisory role within one of Ethiopia’s largest agro-processing operations. As Workshop Supervisor at ELFORA’s integrated farm near Hawassa, you will be responsible for overseeing the maintenance and repair of heavy vehicles, agricultural machinery, and transport equipment that keep production and logistics running. It suits an experienced auto-mechanic or technician ready to step into a leadership position, managing a team and ensuring workshop efficiency in a demanding industrial farming environment.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirement of a first degree in Automotive Engineering or a related field suggests the employer values formal technical education combined with practical know-how. With 3-5 years of experience expected, the company is looking for someone who has moved beyond basic repair tasks and can diagnose complex issues, plan preventive maintenance schedules, and coordinate workflow. This is not an entry-level role — ELFORA needs a supervisor who can independently manage a workshop, enforce safety protocols, and minimize downtime across a large agricultural operation.
How to Approach This Application
In your application, emphasize your hands-on experience with heavy-duty vehicles and farm machinery commonly used in Ethiopian agro-industry — such as tractors, trucks, and generators. Highlight any prior supervisory or team-leading experience, even if informal, as well as your ability to manage spare parts inventory and maintenance records. The employer likely prioritizes candidates who demonstrate practical problem-solving skills and familiarity with the operational pressures of a working farm. Tailor your CV to show measurable results, like reduced repair turnaround times or improved equipment availability.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a seasoned automotive technician with supervisory experience in an industrial or agricultural setting, and it is likely to be moderately competitive given ELFORA’s reputation and the location near Hawassa.
