What are the responsibilities and job description for the Equipment Rental Manager position at Paw Paw Rentals?
Overview
At Paw Paw Rentals, we don’t just rent equipment—we help people build, fix, and create things that matter.
We’re looking for someone who can run day-to-day operations, demonstrate/repair equipment, and oversee the shop to make sure everything is done right.
This is not a desk job. This is a hands-on leadership role where you lead by example.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be responsible for running the daily operations of the business, including:
- Leading the rental counter and ensuring great customer service
- Managing a small team (counter staff, yard help, and shop coordination)
- Scheduling event deliveries and pickups
- Operating equipment when needed (loading/unloading, demos, yard organization)
- Overseeing the shop workflow to ensure repairs are done correctly and efficiently
- Spot-checking equipment quality and readiness before it goes out
- Handling customer issues and keeping operations running smoothly
This is a player-coach role—you’ll both manage and get your hands dirty.
What We’re Looking For
We don’t care about degrees—we care about capability and experience.
You’re a great fit if you:
- Have hands-on experience with equipment (skid steers, lifts, trailers, etc.)
- Can confidently operate common rental equipment
- Have experience in construction, equipment rental, or the trades
- Have led people before (even a small team)
- Can evaluate whether work is being done correctly in a shop/mechanical and event/party setting
- Take ownership and solve problems without waiting to be told
- Stay organized and keep operations running efficiently
This role requires someone who understands equipment well enough to hold others accountable for quality work.
Schedule & Expectations
- Full-time (40 hours/week)
- Mondays and Fridays are high-volume days
- Some Saturdays (half day)
- Occasional after-hours response for urgent equipment issues
Why This Job Is Different
- You’re not managing from behind a desk—you’re running the operation
- You’ll have real ownership and decision-making authority
- You’ll work directly with ownership to build and improve the business
- Your impact will be visible every day
