Golf Cart Technician

RYDE Marketplace is building a modern, one-stop destination for golf cart sales, lithium upgrades, service, parts, accessories, and fleet management across the Southeast. Headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, RYDE Marketplace is growing and preparing to move into a new, larger location designed to support our expanding sales, service, refurbishment, and fleet operations. We sell and service professionally reconditioned golf carts from the three major brands: EZGO, Club Car, and Yamaha. Our business includes retail sales, lithium conversions, repairs, customization, parts, accessories, and commercial fleet management. We also manage and service golf cart fleets for several local businesses, providing preventative maintenance, repairs, inspections, and ongoing support. Our goal is bigger than operating a traditional golf cart dealership. We're building a more modern, technology-driven model for how golf carts are sold, serviced, maintained, and supported. We're still small enough that a great idea can come from anyone - and actually become something. We want people who ask questions, share ideas, find better ways to do things, and want to grow with the company. Our philosophy is simple: take care of our people, give them the tools and opportunity to succeed, and they'll take great care of our customers. The Opportunity We're hiring a full-time or part-time Golf Cart Technician to join our growing Greenville team. We're looking for more than someone who can turn a wrench. We want a forward-thinking, technically curious problem solver who is excited about new technology and wants to help us challenge the traditional golf cart service model. You'll work across lead-acid electric, lithium electric, and gas-powered golf carts , including everything from routine maintenance and complete refurbishments to difficult electrical and mechanical diagnostics. When you encounter something you've seen before, we don't expect you to know the answer immediately. We expect you to know how to figure it out. Research it. Understand it. Test it. Verify it. Fix it. Schedule & Employment Full-time and part-time opportunities are available with guaranteed year-round hours - this is not seasonal employment. Our ideal schedule is Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM , but we're flexible on weekday hours for the right candidate. The golf cart business has busy and slower seasons, but we believe great technicians deserve consistency. If we commit to a schedule with you, you can count on those hours throughout the year. What You’ll Do Diagnose mechanical and electrical problems Service lead-acid, lithium, and gas-powered golf carts Diagnose batteries, chargers, controllers, motors, solenoids, sensors, wiring, and electrical systems Diagnose and repair gas engines and related systems Perform preventative maintenance and inspections Install and troubleshoot lithium battery conversions Repair brakes, steering, suspension, and drivetrains Install lighting, street-legal equipment, wheels, tires, seats, and accessories Complete custom upgrades and modifications Inspect and recondition incoming golf carts Support commercial fleet maintenance and repairs Complete and document work orders and service findings Perform final safety and performance inspections Help maintain a clean, organized, and safe shop We’re Looking for a Modern Technician Being a great technician today isn't just about what you already know. It's about how effectively you can find the answer when you don't know. You should be comfortable using traditional resources like service manuals, wiring diagrams, manufacturer documentation, and diagnostic equipment - while also taking advantage of online forums, technical communities, social media, and AI tools to research unfamiliar problems. You also understand that something you find online or through AI isn't automatically correct. You'll use measurements, testing, technical documentation, and mechanical judgment to verify your diagnosis. We don't want to throw parts at a problem until it disappears. We want to understand why something failed, diagnose it correctly, repair it correctly, and use what we learn to become better the next time. Qualifications Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability Strong electrical troubleshooting and diagnostic skills Comfortable working with lead-acid, lithium, and gas-powered golf carts Hands-on experience repairing golf carts, automobiles, powersports equipment, small engines, EVs, industrial equipment, or similar systems Comfortable using multimeters, diagnostic equipment, hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment Ability to read wiring diagrams, service manuals, and technical documentation Resourceful when researching unfamiliar problems Comfortable using forums, manufacturer resources, social media, and AI as research tools Willing and able to learn new technologies and repair methods Able to test and verify a diagnosis rather than simply replacing parts Strong attention to detail and pride in workmanship Organized and able to document completed work Able to work independently and as part of a team Good communication and customer service skills Commitment to maintaining a clean and safe workplace Valid driver's license Golf cart-specific experience is valuable, but it isn't required. A strong automotive, powersports, EV, small-engine, or equipment technician with the right mechanical and electrical abilities can be a great fit. Who Will Thrive at RYDE This position is for someone who gets satisfaction from figuring out the problem everyone else couldn't. Someone who asks questions. Someone who sees a better way of doing something and speaks up. Someone who isn't intimidated by a system or problem they haven't encountered before. Someone who embraces new technology instead of avoiding it. And someone who wants to help build something rather than simply work in it. As RYDE grows, we want the people who help build the company today to have opportunities to grow with it. If that sounds like you, we'd like to meet you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
