Job description

You’re not just managing a shop — you’re leading the operational heartbeat of a high-performance landscaping company. As our Shop Manager / Fleet Mechanic, you’ll own the systems, standards, and accountability behind our trucks, trailers, tools, and equipment while earning $75,000–$95,000/year + quarterly bonuses.

This role is built for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, leads with accountability, stays hands‑on mechanically, and takes pride in building organized, efficient systems that keep crews moving.

Pay Range: $75,000 to $95,000 depending on experience plus bonuses.

Compensation Breakdown:

• Annual Range: $75,000 to $95,000 depending on experience.
• Quarterly performance bonus tied to KPIs.

Who We’re Looking For:

• You treat trucks, tools, and the shop like they're your own.
• Skilled mechanic and clear manager. You can wrench on a Kubota in the morning and run a tight 1-on-1 in the afternoon.
• Disorganization bothers you. A messy shop is a problem you can't walk past.
• You hold people accountable without being a jerk.
• You move fast and finish what you start.

Responsibilities

• Maintain labeled storage, assigned parking, and strict daily/weekly cleaning standards.
• Prevent waste with inventory controls, reorder tracking, and duplicate‑purchase checks.

• Run weekly audits and enforce compliance before crews leave the shop.

Equipment Maintenance

• Track PM schedules and hour meters for all equipment in ServiceAutopilot.
• Triage all repairs within 4 hours and maintain a visible repair queue.
• Document repair details and elevate/send out repairs not resolved within 48 hours.
• Oversee weekly washes, monthly deep details, and daily equipment cleanliness standards.
• Inspect work quality and enforce crew accountability for end‑of‑day cleanup.

Crew Leader Accountability

• Require crew leaders to complete daily truck, tool, and cleanliness sign‑offs.
• Track performance through weekly scorecards and hold crews until standards are met.
• Coordinate next‑day job staging with PMs and lead daily/weekly team communication.

Fleet, Safety & Compliance

• Track fleet compliance, fuel use, and safety equipment across all vehicles.
• Lead monthly safety efforts and plan for equipment replacement/capital needs.

Working Conditions

People love working here because they’re part of a driven, team‑first culture that celebrates wins, invests in great equipment, and rewards hard work. We work hard, have fun, and create real opportunities for long‑term growth.
