Service Manager - Heavy Equipment

$38 - $42 per hour
Full-time

Service Manager – Heavy Equipment / Fleet (Nova Scotia) 

Location : Greater Halifax Area, Nova Scotia | Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent | Industry: Equipment Rental / Heavy Equipment Service 

Are you a Red Seal Heavy Equipment Technician ready to step into leadership, or an experienced Service Manager in the equipment rental, heavy equipment, or fleet maintenance space? We are partnering with a leading equipment rental company to hire a hands-on Service Manager to lead a busy shop and service team. 

This is a key leadership role offering strong pay, a company vehicle, and a potential signing bonus for the right candidate. 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out 

  • Competitive compensation of approximately $38–$42/hour, based on experience (flexible for the right candidate). 

  • Signing bonus available for a strong candidate. 

  • Company vehicle, cell phone, laptop, and fuel card provided. 

  • Full benefits – medical, dental, and life insurance, paid sick days, and negotiable vacation. 

  • Lead an established service department with a shop team of roughly 16+. 

What You Will Do 

  • Lead and manage all service and shop operations – technicians, work orders, PMs, and equipment readiness. 

  • Oversee repair quality, turnaround time, preventive maintenance compliance, and diagnostic standards. 

  • Sign off on equipment inspections and communicate directly with customers on equipment and repairs. 

  • Manage parts, sublets, repair costs, and service documentation while supporting branch profitability. 

  • Coach, mentor, and develop technicians, and drive a strong safety and 5S culture. 

  • Coordinate with operations, parts, dispatch, and sales to meet customer commitments. 

What You Bring 

  • Red Seal Heavy Equipment Technician certification is strongly preferred (or equivalent trade ticket). 

  • Experience servicing off-road/heavy equipment – aerial lifts, telehandlers, dozers, forklifts, or similar. 

  • Same-industry experience (equipment rental / heavy equipment service) is preferred. 

  • Proven supervisory or management experience leading a shop or service team. 

  • Strong customer communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. 

  • Valid driver’s licence with an acceptable driving record. 

Ready to lead a busy shop and grow your career? Apply today with your current resume – all applications are reviewed confidentially by our recruitment team.
