Location Manager - Shop Operations and Business Development

Omaha, NE
 

Central Body Company is a premier, family-owned collision and specialty repair staple with a 40-year legacy in the Omaha and Council Bluffs market. We do not run our shops like corporate, metric-obsessed multi-shop operators. We operate on a foundation of absolute quality, deep technician respect, and high-performance culture. Because we actively promote our rockstars internally, our vital West Omaha/Gretna location is now open for an exceptional leader to take the wheel.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are not looking for a traditional auto body manager with rigid habits or an office-bound bureaucrat. Our most successful leaders have a heavy-duty or commercial fleet DNA, coming from environments like commercial truck centers, heavy equipment operations, or industrial service management.

We hire exclusively based on three core virtues:

  1. Hungry: You possess an aggressive work ethic. You are self-motivated, driven to win, and see opportunities where others see roadblocks.
  2. Humble: You have zero ego. You lead by example, readily share credit with your crew, and are willing to grab a broom or move vehicles if that is what your team needs at that moment.
  3. Smart: You have high situational awareness and elite people skills. You know how to read a room, de-escalate customer tension, and motivate your technicians.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

This is a hybrid leadership role that splits time between maximizing shop floor production and driving local business growth.

  • Shop Floor and Crew Accountability: Maintain an immaculate, highly organized, and safe shop facility. Drive daily production, manage repair workflows, and find creative technical solutions to complete complex passenger and commercial/RV jobs on time. Estimate and Negotiate RVs and commercial vehicles. Establish clear performance standards and hold technicians directly accountable to schedules and quality controls without micro-managing. Partner closely with our Operations Director to align on daily scheduling, parts logistics, and company goals.

  • Business Development and Commercial Sales: You do not hide behind a desk. You will actively hit the pavement alongside our Business Development Director to prospect door-to-door for new B2B commercial, corporate, and fleet accounts. Build and protect long-term partnerships with local fleet managers and businesses. Handle commercial sales rejection with high resiliency, viewing every no as just a stepping stone to a partnership.

WHAT WE OFFER

  • Base Salary: $85,000 to $95,000 per year (commensurate with experience).
  • Performance Bonus: A highly lucrative monthly and quarterly bonus structure tied directly to location sales volume and Gross Profit percentage (GP%). Your earning potential is directly linked to your execution.
  • Culture: True operational autonomy in a supportive, family-focused environment where your impact is recognized daily.
  • Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, and retirement options.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 3+ years of leadership or supervisory experience in a high-volume service environment (Commercial Truck Centers, Fleet Operations, Heavy Equipment, Repair, or Industrial Service highly preferred).
  • Proven track record of managing a physical shop floor, scheduling technicians, and maintaining high accountability standards.
  • Strong comfort level with face-to-face B2B sales prospecting and customer relationship management.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and a resilient, solutions-oriented mindset.
