Premier Equipment • Earlton, KS

29d • CA$110,000 - CA$130,000 • Onsite

About The Position

As Branch Manager at Premier Equipment, you won’t just lead a store—you’ll lead a team, a culture, and a community presence. You’ll own full P&L responsibility and guide a multi-functional team across Parts, Service, Sales, and Admin. From turning strategic goals into quarterly wins, to resolving customer escalations with empathy and grit, your leadership will be both felt and appreciated—from the shop floor to the field. You’ll have the autonomy of a GM backed by the strength of Ontario’s largest John Deere dealer network. This is your opportunity to drive results that matter—for your team, your customers, and the communities we serve.

• Full P&L ownership experience, with examples of both successes and failures and the lessons learned.
• Strong operational management skills, including setting KPIs, managing budgets, and driving performance.
