Manager, Vehicle Maintenance

About the role

This is a builder's role, not a caretaker's. If you know your way around a maintenance bay and you are ready to lead, this is the role that lets you prove what you can do.

Responsibilities

• Runs the day-to-day of one of our vehicle maintenance operation depots: the fleet, the equipment, and most importantly the team of technicians who keep it all road-ready.
• Sets the schedule, plans and tracks the work, develops your people, and makes sure every bus is safe and ready when service starts.
• Helps us run a modern shop using an HRIS for scheduling, a work order management system for planning and tracking labor, and digital timekeeping.

Requirements

• A high school diploma is required.
• An automotive technical training or a degree in business, operations, or engineering is a strong plus.
• A CDL with appropriate endorsements, or the ability to obtain one, is required.
• The position is safety-sensitive and subject to DOT physical qualification standards.

Qualifications

• A genuine interest in the work and in technology, and the drive to keep learning as the fleet and the tools evolve.
• Hands-on vehicle maintenance experience strong enough to earn the respect of the technicians you lead (at least 2 years required).
• Proven leadership ability: the skill to motivate a team, hold people accountable fairly, and turn a group of technicians into a high-performing crew.
• A positive, solutions-first attitude, especially when the day does not go to plan.
• Comfort with computerized maintenance management, scheduling, and work order systems, or the drive to master them quickly.

Skills

• Leadership skills
• Technical knowledge of vehicle maintenance
• Ability to use and adapt to new technologies

Benefits

• Ownership of your operation
• Direct involvement in shaping how BCRTA grows
