What are the responsibilities and job description for the Detail Technician I position at Cox Automotive?
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.
Qualifications:
- Valid driver's license and safe driving record required.
- Ability to drive standard and automatic transmission vehicles.
- While you won’t need to do any crazy folk dancing, you must be able to stoop, bend, kneel, squat, and lean for extended periods.
- Basic knowledge of auto detailing, paint application processes, and associated repair procedures (preferred but not required).
To be employed in this role, you'll need to clear a pre-employment background check and drug test. Cox Automotive does not currently consider a pre-employment drug test for marijuana for this position. However, we are a drug-free workplace, so the possession, use or being under the influence of drugs illegal under federal or state law during work hours, on company property and/or in company vehicles is prohibited.
