Location Manager - Shop Operations and Business Development

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.

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:

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.

• 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.

• 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.

If you are an exceptional leader who wants to run a shop for the right reasons, the pride of a perfect repair, a clean shop floor, and the growth of your team, we want to talk to you. Submit your resume today for a completely confidential interview.
