Shop Foreman

Start date: as soon as possible

Do you want to run a workshop... for real?

At Communauto, we don’t just manage the largest car-sharing service in North America: we make possible a mobility model that’s more sustainable, more accessible, and better suited to urban life.

Behind every available car, there are well-orchestrated operations, well-prioritized interventions, and teams that keep things moving every day.

Today, we’re looking for a Workshop Manager for our Rivière-des-Prairies workshop: someone who loves being on the ground, coordinating, and working in environments where you have to make quick decisions and keep operations moving.

Your day-to-day role

You are the shop floor leader. Specifically, you will:

    • Organize and prioritize work based on urgency and the workshop’s actual capacity;
    • Analyze and assign work orders to mechanics;
    • Manage vehicle flow (movements, parking, jockeying, work sequences);
    • Decide where and how repairs will be performed (workshop, mobile unit, etc.);
    • Ensure the quality of repairs and handle complex cases;
    • Supervise mechanics on a daily basis and provide clear feedback;
    • Contribute to a safe and structured work environment;
Ultimately, you ensure that priorities are met and that the garage performs effectively.

What we’re looking for:

    • 5 to 8 years of experience in automotive mechanics;
    • Experience in workshop coordination, supervision, or a similar role (foreman, team leader, technical advisor);
    • Ability to organize, make decisions, and adapt quickly in a dynamic environment;
    • Natural on-the-ground leadership (you’re comfortable providing guidance, coaching, and motivating others);
    • Strong technical judgment and sense of priorities;
    • Sense of responsibility regarding occupational health and safety (OHS) and ability to address on-the-ground practices;
    • Bilingualism (French and English).

Assets:

    • Vocational Diploma (DVS) in automotive mechanics;
    • Knowledge of electric vehicles.

What we offer:

    • Salary based on experience;
    • Full-time position (36 hours per week) over 4 days;
    • Daytime schedule: Monday through Thursday (7:00 AM to 4:30 PM);
    • New facility located in Rivière-des-Prairies, just minutes from the A25 bridge;
    • Comprehensive benefits package: health, dental, vision, and travel insurance;
    • Group pension plan with employer contribution;
    • Bank of personal time off;
    • Discounts on Communauto services and public transit passes;
    • Employee and family assistance program;
    • Access to telemedicine.
