DETAIL TECHNICIAN I

 

The only thing you love more than a pristine automobile is being the person who made it sparkle and shine. From the first drop of soap to the last touch of paint, you are all about making a great vehicle look as good as it runs. 

If you’d like to put your automotive artistry to work with a powerhouse company, Manheim may be your ticket to ride. Manheim, part of the Cox Automotive family of businesses, is the world’s largest wholesale auto marketplace. We help clients buy, sell, recondition and transport used cars, as well as manage and finance vehicle inventory. We’re on a quest to find car lovers with an attention to detail…literally.  Our Detail Technicians are folks who have mad skills getting a car or truck to look as good as new.  Sound like you?  Read on!

 

What You’ll Do

 

You’ll have a hand in every aspect of getting a vehicle looking its best.  That means things like…

 

       ● Prepping, cleaning, washing & waxing cars.

       ● Removing defects, and assisting with painting and minor repairs from

          time to time.

       ● Keeping Tools and Equipment in excellent shape.

       ● Observing safety & health procedures.

       ● Completing work orders & other vehicle documentation.

       ● Following regulations on paint and other tools of your trade.

 

By the way, a valid driver’s license is a must – we’ll need you to drive some of these bad boys from point A to point B. And, if you know your way around auto detailing, painting, and some simple repairs, well, that’s another plus in your column.

 

What’s In It For You?

• You’ll be rewarded with competitive pay & employee discounts.

• You’ll be working with some of the coolest and most advanced detailing tools.  When it comes to technology, Manheim has your back. 

• We’re big believers in developing leaders from within the company, and once you’re with us, you’ll have the chance to find a mentor, train for other opportunities or make moves within the business so that you can always look for growth and impact.

• If you’re a full-time employee, you’ll enjoy even more terrific benefits, like paid vacation time, paid holidays, comprehensive healthcare, life & disability insurance, and more! Plus, did we mention that we offer Tuition Reimbursement after 1 year with us?

• As part of the Cox team, you’ll be a part of a culture that puts people first, and believes in being a force for good in our communities as well as for the planet (more specifically – Earth, though we like them all).
