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
