Description
We’re hiring experienced Heavy Truck Body Shop Managers to take full operational control of high-volume Class 5–8 collision repair facilities in Boise, ID; Salt Lake City, UT; and Portland, OR. This is a hands-on leadership role with real authority—where you’ll drive performance, lead your team, and directly impact shop profitability.
You won’t just manage the shop—you’ll run it.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Own daily shop operations including scheduling, workflow, and production output
Lead, coach, and develop body technicians, painters, fabricators, and support staff
Drive cycle time, efficiency, and overall shop performance
Inspect damage, write and review estimates, and manage supplements and final billing
Maintain strong communication with customers, insurance adjusters, and fleet clients
Ensure all repairs meet OEM standards, safety regulations, and quality expectations
Manage parts ordering, vendor relationships, and materials flow
Resolve customer concerns, warranty issues, and rework quickly and effectively
Maintain a safe, organized, and OSHA-compliant work environment
What Success Looks Like
Improved cycle time and increased shop throughput
High technician productivity and strong team retention
Minimal rework with consistent, high-quality repairs
Strong customer satisfaction and communication
Profitable, well-run shop operations
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in heavy truck or commercial collision repair
Prior leadership experience (Shop Foreman, Lead Tech, Estimator, or Manager)
Strong estimating experience and ability to manage insurance and fleet accounts
Knowledge of structural repair, welding, fabrication, and refinishing
Ability to manage multiple jobs, deadlines, and team priorities in a fast-paced shop
Nice to have:
CDL
ASE, I-CAR, welding, or paint certifications
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
High-volume, steady workflow (fleet and insurance-driven)
Full autonomy to run the shop—no micromanagement
Ability to build, develop, and shape your own team
Real impact on shop performance and profitability
Long-term growth within a stable organization
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive base salary: $90K–$130K+ (based on experience)
Performance-based bonus tied to productivity and profitability (top performers earning $120K–$160K+)
