Body Shop Manager

Now Hiring: Body Shop Manager – Commercial Truck Division
Location: Fort Worth, TX
Business Unit: Industrial Power Truck & Equipment

Own the Operation, Lead the Team and Build the Business!
At Industrial Power Truck & Equipment, we’re seeking a seasoned, business-minded leader to take command of one of the most capable commercial truck body shops in Texas. With full ownership of the P&L, this is more than an operations role—it's a strategic leadership position reporting directly to executive management.
As the Body Shop Manager, you’ll manage an 18-bay facility equipped for the full spectrum of Class 3–8 commercial truck body work—from collision repair and paint to fabrication, liftgate installation, box repair, and cab replacements. The shop is designed for scale. The opportunity is built for a high-performing leader who knows how to maximize efficiency, grow market share, and develop high-functioning teams.

Compensation Structure
Our compensation package is designed to attract top-tier leadership and reward high performance across all levels of the business:

• Base Salary – Paid weekly to provide consistent and reliable cash flow.
• Monthly Gross Profit Multiplier – Earn a performance-based bonus directly tied to departmental gross profit.
• Monthly Budget Bonus – Receive a $1,000 bonus each month for achieving budget targets. This bonus begins prorating once 80% of the budget is attained.
• Year-End Profit-Sharing Bonus – At the end of each fiscal year, earn 10% of net profit above budget as a performance incentive.

This structure rewards effective leadership, financial discipline, and the ability to drive both top-line growth and operational efficiency. We paint the floor you paint the ceiling!
