📍 Commerce City, CO
💰 $100,000-$150,000 Performance-Based Compensation
(Base Salary + Bonus)

This is not a "clock in and coast" management job. We want someone who takes ownership, drives production, builds culture, increases profitability, and develops technicians into a winning team.

If you thrive under pressure, love solving problems, know how to motivate people, and understand that leadership means setting the pace - not watching from the sidelines - keep reading.

  • Maintaining high customer satisfaction and repeat business
  • Hiring, training, coaching, and holding employees accountable
  • Ensuring jobs are completed correctly and on time
  • Managing workflow, scheduling, and production goals
  • Creating a positive, high-performance culture
  • Monitoring KPIs including labor hours, comeback rate, ARO, GP%, and productivity
  • Handling customer concerns professionally and confidently
What We're Looking For
  • Proven leadership experience in automotive or diesel repair management
  • Strong understanding of shop operations and repair processes
  • Ability to build and lead a productive team
  • High energy, strong communication skills, and a sense of urgency
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and solutions-focused
  • Comfortable managing numbers, goals, and accountability
  • Someone who leads from the front - not from the office chair
Compensation

We believe great managers should be paid like great managers.
  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance-based commission structure
  • Realistic earnings between $100K-$150K+
  • Opportunity for long-term growth with a growing company

Your income is directly tied to your ability to lead people, improve production, grow revenue, and create a winning environment.

  1. Your management experience
  2. The size of the teams you've led
  3. What makes you a strong leader
  4. Why you believe you'd succeed in this role

We're not looking for average. We're looking for someone who wants to build something great.
