About the Role

Bellair Charters / Airporter Shuttle — one of Washington State's largest motorcoach operators — is hiring a Shop Manager to keep our 70-vehicle fleet running at peak performance. Based in Ferndale, WA (just 10 minutes from Bellingham), this is a hands-on leadership role for someone who takes pride in a well-run shop.

You'll lead a team of four technicians, own the maintenance schedule, and be the operational backbone that keeps our drivers on the road and our customers happy.

What You'll Do

  • Plan and manage daily/weekly shop workflow and repair schedules
  • Supervise and motivate a team of four technicians
  • Handle parts ordering, pricing, and vendor negotiations
  • Maintain work orders and fleet records with precision
  • Partner closely with our Operations team to minimize vehicle downtime

What We're Looking For

  • Experience managing a team in an auto, diesel, fleet, or similar mechanical environment
  • Strong follow-through — you track open items and close the loop
  • Comfortable with shop management software and digital work orders
  • Parts sourcing and cost awareness
  • A professional, organized approach to a fast-moving environment

No bus or motorcoach experience required — we'll train you on our fleet.

Why Bellair?

  • Stable, growing company with 35+ years in business
  • A leadership team that listens and values your input
  • Tight-knit crew that takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously
  • Real career runway as we continue to expand

Location Note Our shop is in Ferndale, WA — approximately 10 miles south of Bellingham. Reliable transportation required.
