Full job description

Salary: $80k - 100k per year
Reference: JOB-1249

Our client is looking for an experienced and hands-on Assistant Body Shop Manager to join our management team. This is an active, floor-level leadership role where you will work closely with approximately 50 shop employees — including technicians, welders, and general labourers — to deliver high-quality repairs and refurbishments on time. You will report directly to the VP of Operations and play a key role in day-to-day shop execution.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and support approximately 50 shop employees including technicians, welders, and general labourers
Allocate and monitor work assignments to ensure jobs are completed on time and to quality standards
Oversee body and collision repairs — from parts ordering and intake through to final inspection — ensuring work aligns with estimates
Coach, mentor, train, and when necessary counsel shop employees
Manage and optimize repair, maintenance, and refurbishment bay scheduling
Maintain accurate repair order flow and document progress in workflow tracking systems
Report all shop activity, issues, and performance updates directly to the VP of Operations — no decisions made on assumptions
Collaborate cross-functionally with finance (invoicing, accounts receivable) and purchasing/materials (vendor orders, payments)
Uphold and promote a safety-first culture throughout the shop

Must-Have Experience:

Minimum 5 years of supervisory experience in body repair and/or heavy-duty vehicle assembly
10+ years of direct hands-on experience in an automotive, truck, or body shop environment
Strong working knowledge of body/collision repair — frames, parts, job execution against estimates
Proven people management skills: motivating teams, handling conflict, and building trust
100% transparent and accountable — you report everything up the chain, no filtering
Solid understanding of shop floor processes, scheduling, and quality control

Nice to Have:

310B Certification (or equivalent collision/body shop experience that demonstrates depth)
Experience with workflow or repair tracking software
Familiarity with Microsoft Word and basic Excel

This is not an estimating or client-facing role. No transit bus experience is required — candidates from truck, automotive, and collision backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary & Financial:

$80,000 – $100,000 annually based on experience (flexibility for the right candidate)
Group RRSP plan with employer matching — eligible after 90 days
Comprehensive health and dental benefits, fully company-paid from day one

Perks & Allowances:

Annual $1,000 tool allowance
Bi-annual $200 boot allowance
100% tuition reimbursement for professional development
Paid annual MTO license renewal

Work-Life Balance:

Monday–Friday schedule only — no nights, no weekends (occasional Saturdays during peak periods)
Summer Flex Fridays: shifts end at 12:30 PM all summer long
Full closure between Christmas and New Year's Day
Vacation accrual begins in year one

Why Join Our Client?

A clean, modern, fully indoor facility — no cold winters working outside
Strong company culture with excellent long-term employee retention
Non-unionized, collaborative environment where your input is valued
Real growth potential as the company continues to expand

Work Location: In person
