Job Summary

We are seeking a Shop Foreman to join our team. This is a newly created position. As the Shop Foreman, you will be responsible for keeping the fleet of blower trucks and equipment operating and maintained. This is a small shop atmosphere that only works on our equipment. Help us grow in the tracking and monitoring of repairs and maintenance electronically on a computer and connect to the newer trucks with Davie 4 software or similar for diagnostics. You will ensure the safety of the shop and field employees and that all systems are functioning properly. The ideal candidate is well-versed in administrative and shop work, highly organized, and comfortable with problem-solving any issues that may arise. More than experience and certificates, the candidate must have an innovative attitude and mindset for finding solutions to problems and enjoy the freedom to try new things. A willingness to work hard, get dirty, do the job right, and do what it takes to keep the trucks operating. 90% of this job is administrative, but ultimately, this job requires a person to be flexible with the distribution of workflow as needed.

Additional info Shop tools and equipment are provided, and we typically hire out bigger repairs, such as engine rebuilding, transmission swaps, rear ends, etc., to a select few shops. Most of our equipment is newer Peterbilt's & John Deere with some older Freightliners.

This is a local small business, team-type environment with around 22 people. We have been in business for 16 years and have grown steadily every year.

The blower and slinger truck service industry is steadily fast-growing, specifically because of its labor-saving capabilities. Constantly evolving to blow and place different materials.

We will fight to protect our team members' choice to breathe fresh air and respect personal exemptions from forced experiments.
