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+)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • 401(k) or retirement plan
  • Ongoing training and career development
