Job Description

Lead. Build. Transform.

Join Velocity Truck Centres as a Body Shop Manager
Are you a proven leader in the heavy-duty collision repair industry who thrives on driving performance, building high-performing teams, and delivering exceptional customer experiences? This is your opportunity to take ownership of a growing operation and make a measurable impact.
At Velocity Truck Centres, our Body Shop Managers do more than manage. They lead from the front, inspire their teams, and elevate the standard of service.

Why This Role Stands Out
Competitive Compensation That Rewards Performance
Enjoy a strong salary paired with a performance-driven bonus plan based on experience.
Work-Life Balance That Matters
Recharge with generous accrued vacation time.
Plan for Your Future
Take advantage of employer-matched RRSP or pension options.
Comprehensive Benefits
We offer company-paid extended health, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, and wellness programs.

What You’ll Own
As the Body Shop Manager, you will take full ownership of the operation, leading both the business and the people behind it:
• Drive financial performance by developing budgets, analyzing results, and implementing profit-focused strategies
• Lead daily operations including scheduling, workflow optimization, and resource planning
• Build and develop a high-performing team by hiring, mentoring, and supporting staff
• Monitor technician productivity, efficiency, and quality to ensure top-tier workmanship
• Oversee estimates, invoicing, and insurance claims with accuracy and accountability
• Strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers, and insurance partners
• Identify growth opportunities, improve processes, and increase overall shop performance
• Ensure compliance with safety standards, company policies, and regulatory requirements
• Provide clear communication and reporting to senior leadership

What You Bring
• Red Seal Certification as a Body Shop Technician
• 7+ years of experience in the heavy-duty truck body shop industry
• Proven success leading teams in a body shop or service environment
• Strong business acumen with the ability to drive profitability and efficiency
• Customer-focused mindset with strong relationship-building skills
• Solid understanding of estimating, repair processes, and insurance workflows
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and dealership management systems
