If chemicals need filling, you fill them. You own the whole site.
Projects and Growth • Leading or supporting equipment installs, upgrades, and improvement projects • Working with vendors, placing service calls, managing project timelines • Communicating up and down the chain of command — your team knows what’s going on because you told them Documentation • Every work order documented in our maintenance tracking system with photos, parts used, root cause, and next steps. Non-negotiable. Schedule and Work Reality This is a full-time position averaging 45 hours per week. Car washes don’t break on a schedule, and they don’t wait until Monday morning. You should expect: • Weekend work — equipment goes down on Saturday, you go fix it • Early mornings or late nights when the situation calls for it • Taking calls on weekends and after hours — if a site is down, you’re the person who knows about it • Flexibility to shift your schedule — work a weekend, take a day off during the week This is not an 8-to-5, Monday-through-Friday desk job. If you need rigid hours, this role isn’t the right fit. If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem and handles it regardless of the clock, you’ll do well here. What You Get • Vehicle allowance and gas card • Health insurance — group plan available • 401(k) with company match • Vacation and sick leave • Training and development — we invest in you getting better at the job • Growth path — junior technicians grow into senior roles based on performance, not seniority • Autonomy — you plan your day, you run your sites, you own how the work gets done • Travel covered — flights, hotels, and meals when working out of market

Vehicle allowance and gas card provided. • Valid driver’s license • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision • Willingness to travel — this includes flying to other states. We have sites across the country, and travel to other markets is part of the position. • Comfortable with a flexible schedule — weekends, early mornings, and after-hours calls are part of the job • Physical ability to climb ladders, work on roofs, lift 50+ lbs, and work in all weather conditions Preferred (not required — we’ll train the right person) • Experience with In-Bay Automatic (IBA) car wash systems (Ryko, Mark VII, or similar) • Electrical troubleshooting (multimeter, schematics, breaker panels, variable frequency drives) • Plumbing (PVC, copper, water lines, chemical lines) • Experience with garage doors, automatic doors, or boiler/heating systems • Experience with payment systems (coin acceptors, bill changers, credit card readers) • Experience with maintenance tracking software If you’ve worked in HVAC, industrial maintenance, plumbing, electrical, automotive repair, facilities maintenance, or military equipment maintenance — your skills probably transfer.
