Job Summary — Shop & Equipment Manager The Shop & Equipment Manager is responsible for maintaining an organized, secure, and accountable shop while ensuring company equipment, tools, materials, and vehicles are properly controlled and ready to support field operations.

- Prepare and stage equipment and materials required for upcoming projects.




- Receive deliveries and ensure materials and equipment are directed to the correct project or storage location.
- Maintain organized material storage and identify excess, reusable, damaged, or disposable materials.
- Coordinate garbage, recycling, scrap, and disposal so these areas remain controlled and do not become dumping grounds.
- Assist with company vehicle oversight, including cleanliness, equipment stored in vehicles, scheduled maintenance, and required records.
- Maintain accurate electronic and/or physical inventory records and participate in regular equipment audits.
- Identify recurring losses, process failures, or accountability issues and report them to the Operations Manager.
- Work closely with Project Managers and field staff to ensure crews have what they need without sacrificing inventory control.
- Establish and maintain designated locations for tools, equipment, consumables, and project materials.
- Support purchasing and advise management when commonly used stock or consumables require replenishment.
- Ensure employees follow established shop, equipment, vehicle, and material-control procedures.
