We’re Looking for a Shop Foreman in Auburn.
Is Leadership the Next Step in Your Career?
If you’re a knowledgeable mechanic who's been doing the same or similar work for years, you might be ready for a change.
For experienced mechanics, becoming a shop foreman can be a natural next step. It gives you the opportunity to use your technical knowledge, support other mechanics and have a greater say in how a repair shop operates. You can continue doing the work you enjoy while helping shape the team around you and taking a big step in your career.
We are seeking a Shop Foreman for our fleet services shop in Auburn. We’re looking for someone ready to bring their trade experience and skills to a collaborative, hard-working team. Here is how you can make an impact.
Leadership does not mean giving up the work you enjoy
Some mechanics hesitate to pursue leadership because they assume it means spending all day behind a desk. That is not the case at FleetEasy.
Our Shop Foreman is a working foreman. You will still diagnose problems, perform repairs and help solve difficult mechanical issues. You will also supervise repair orders, support technicians and make sure customers receive accurate recommendations and quality service.
Your experience is an important part of the job because you’ll help build a team of mechanics while continuing to help customers and do the work you enjoy.
Your experience can help develop the next generation
A good mechanic knows how to fix a problem. A great leader also knows how to help someone else understand it. As a Shop Foreman, you will have opportunities to teach, train and develop other mechanics. That might mean helping an entry-level technician understand a diagnostic process, sharing a better way to approach a repair or working through a difficult problem as a team.
We don’t expect you to know every answer immediately. But you’ll need to be willing to research problems, ask questions, collaborate with our team, rely on your leadership and help others keep learning. You will find that passing on your knowledge to others can be a very rewarding part of this career.
You can have a voice in how the shop grows
One benefit of joining a smaller repair shop is the chance to see your ideas make a difference. FleetEasy's Auburn Shop is growing, and we are looking for a Shop Foreman who wants to help shape that growth. The role includes overseeing daily repairs, but you’ll also improve processes, support the customer experience, and contribute ideas that can make the shop and company stronger.
Customer relationships are vital to a successful fleet service shop
Technical skill is essential, but a successful shop also depends on the customer experience. The Shop Foreman helps ensure repair orders are diagnosed accurately, recommendations are thorough, and repairs are completed competently. That means communicating clearly, helping customers understand what their trucks need and building trust through consistent work.
The goal is to provide a repair experience that encourages customers to return and make recommendations to other fleet managers. If you enjoy solving mechanical problems and working with people, the role lets you use both skills.
Small shops can offer meaningful opportunities
A large dealership or repair facility may have a clear hierarchy and established procedures. A smaller shop can offer you the chance to be known, contribute directly and see the results of your work.
At FleetEasy, the Auburn team works closely together. The company is family-owned and operated, and the people who lead it are involved in the day-to-day business. That creates an environment where your experience and ideas can have a direct impact.
You will still have the support of a larger company, including the connection between FleetEasy, Motorplex, Pro-Tow and Pro-Enviro. That means exposure to different types of fleet vehicles, emergency repairs, towing operations and spill response equipment, while working within a team that values long-term relationships.
Is this the right time to step into leadership?
You may be ready for a Shop Foreman job in Auburn if you:
-
- Have strong heavy-duty truck or diesel repair experience.
- Enjoy solving complex mechanical and electrical problems.
- Take pride in accurate diagnostics and quality repairs.
- Like helping less-experienced mechanics improve.
- Want more influence over customer service and shop operations.
- Are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
- See opportunities to improve processes rather than simply accepting them as they are.
You do not need to be interested in leaving the hands-on side of the trade. In fact, the ability to lead while continuing to work on trucks is central to this position.
A chance to build something with your experience
The Auburn Shop Foreman will help guide the team, develop mechanics, support customers and contribute to the future of the repair operation.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your role and want to see what your experience and knowledge can do when you’re not under the hood, we’d love to hear from you.
