About the Opportunity
Are you a seasoned diesel mechanic ready to step into a leadership role without leaving the shop floor behind? Avenica has partnered with a locally owned, family-oriented hauling company serving the greater Duluth, MN area since 1952 to hire a Shop Manager / Tech Lead to oversee their growing fleet of 30+ trucks.
This is not a standard wrench-turning position. It is a hands-on leadership role for an experienced diesel professional who can split their time between mentoring a growing team and diving into complex diagnostics and repairs. Our client will set you up for long-term success with a clear path into broader operations leadership.
Why Join Our Client?
Join a stable, established company backed by over 70 years of community trust. As a key player in a growing operation, your voice will shape how the shop runs. The role offers a clear path into broader management and operations leadership as the team expands, allowing you to foster communication between shop staff and corporate leadership while maintaining a clean, safe shop in compliance with Corporate/OSHA standards.
Hiring Process
Interested candidates should apply through Avenica. The process involves a review of qualifications followed by an interview to assess technical expertise and leadership fit.
