Automotive Inventory Technician – Vehicle Imaging

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM–4:30 PM (or until route is completed)

Service Area: Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, Alameda, Piedmont, Albany, San Leandro, Orinda, El Cerrito & Surrounding Communities

Pay: $25.00++ per hour

Pro-MotionPix is hiring a full-time Automotive Inventory Technician to help dealerships maintain accurate, up-to-date vehicle listings across the East Bay.

You'll spend your day traveling between dealership locations, working around different types of vehicles, and making sure inventory is properly prepared for online shoppers. Using a company-issued iPhone and our mobile application, you'll capture vehicle photos, 360&degree; spins, and videos that dealerships use to showcase their inventory.

This position is a good match for someone who prefers an active workday over a desk job. Previous experience in automotive, vehicle detailing, warehouse operations, delivery, construction, or other hands-on fields can be especially helpful.

New to vehicle imaging? That's okay! We provide paid training and teach you our equipment, technology, and established workflow.

This is an operational position, not a creative photography role. The focus is on keeping dealership inventory moving through a consistent process while maintaining accuracy and quality.

• Visit multiple dealership locations throughout your assigned East Bay route.
  

• Search dealership lots to locate vehicles scheduled for inventory imaging.
  

• Retrieve keys and coordinate with dealership personnel to access assigned vehicles.
  

• Position vehicles in designated areas before capturing their images.
  

• Use a company-provided iPhone and mobile application to photograph vehicles and record 360&degree; spins and videos.
  

• Check vehicle information and report discrepancies or missing inventory.
  

• Communicate with dealership contacts when vehicles are unavailable or additional assistance is needed.
  

• Follow established imaging procedures and daily production expectations.
  

• Keep your route organized and complete assigned work efficiently.
  

You don't need a photography background. We're interested in people who have developed strong work habits in practical, hands-on environments.

Experience that translates well includes:

• Automotive: Dealership porters, vehicle detailers, lot attendants, lube technicians, and inventory personnel.
  

• Warehouse: Shipping and receiving, material handling, inventory control, and order fulfillment.
  

• Transportation: Delivery drivers, route associates, and mobile service workers.
  

• Construction: General labor, equipment operators, installers, and trades.
  

• Outdoor Work: Landscaping, grounds keeping, and property maintenance.
  

The qualities we're looking for:

• Dependability and a consistent employment history.
  

• Ability to stay productive while working independently.
  

• Comfort walking dealership lots and working outdoors throughout the day.
  

• Good organizational skills and attention to detail.
  

• Professional communication with dealership employees.
  

• Ability to adapt when vehicles, keys, or inventory information aren't where expected.
  

• Confidence using smartphones, mobile applications, and basic technology.
  

• A willingness to learn and follow established procedures.
  

• Valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle.
  

• At least one year of consistent work history preferred.
  

• Previous experience in automotive, warehouse, construction, delivery, landscaping, or another hands-on field preferred.
  

• Ability to walk, stand, and perform physical tasks throughout the workday.
  

• Comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions.
  

• Strong communication and problem-solving abilities.
  

• Ability to learn company technology and mobile applications.
  

• Manual transmission experience is helpful but not required.
  

• Successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen and background check.
  

• $25.00++ per hour through a combination of base pay and per-vehicle photo incentives.
  

• Potential compensation flexibility based on experience and qualifications.
  

• Paid onboarding and hands-on training.
  

• Company-issued iPhone and necessary equipment.
  

• Mileage reimbursement between assigned dealership stops.
  

• Company uniform shirt.
  

• Consistent Monday–Friday schedule.
  

• Weekends off.
  

• Independent field-based work environment.
  

• Health, dental, vision, and 401(k) benefits for eligible full-time employees.
