Body Shop Manager - #22532

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
