Job Description Job Opening: Automotive College Shop Supervisor (Full-Time) Location: Jamaica, NY Schedule: Monday–Thursday Hours: PM Shop Supervisor - 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm The Role: When the sun starts to set, this automotive technical college is just getting revved up — and they're looking for a pit boss to keep things running smooth. The Shop Supervisor is the go-to leader when it comes to overseeing the evening shift in a busy automotive training shop. Think of it as managing a garage full of future technicians, passionate instructors, and equipment that needs a little TLC. This role is for someone who's part coach, part quality inspector, part fixer-of-things, and all about team spirit. Safety, mentorship, and organization are the name of the game — and the ideal candidate knows how to lead a crew with a firm but friendly grip. What You'll Be Doing: * Running the shop floor like a well-oiled machine * Supporting faculty, solving problems, and keeping the vibe productive * Enforcing safety standards like a shop-floor superhero * Keeping an eye on inventory (and making sure no one's hoarding lug nuts) * Making sure tools and machines are in tip-top shape * Training and mentoring with patience and good humor * Directing students to the Dean when questions go beyond the toolbox * Reporting shop performance and issues directly to leadership * Assessing vehicle issues like a true diagnostic detective * Handling surprises with calm confidence The Ideal Candidate: * Has a high school diploma (bonus points for a degree) * Has real-world shop or manufacturing floor experience — and knows what leadership looks like under a hood * Speaks “mechanic” and “manager” fluently * Loves solving problems and creating structure * Knows their way around shop safety regs like the back of their grease-streaked hand * Isn't afraid of long hours or getting their hands a little dirty * Knows their way around a computer well enough to send a report or two Perks & Benefits: * Competitive pay — bring your experience and get rewarded for it * Health, dental, and vision coverage options * Paid time off and holiday pay * A 3-day weekend every week (hello, Friday freedom!) Ready to step up and lead the evening shift like a champ? This is more than a job — it's a chance to shape future auto pros, keep the gears turning, and be part of something awesome.
