• Staging: Organize and park vehicles in designated rows based on auction run numbers.

What We’re Looking For

• Valid Driver’s License: A clean driving record for the previous year is a must (no major incidents).
• Manual Proficiency: Ability to drive a manual transmission (stick shift) is a major plus.
• Physical Stamina: You’ll be on your feet, getting in and out of cars, and working outdoors in various weather conditions.
• Safety First Mentality: Precision and caution are more important than speed when moving high-value inventory.
• Reliability: Our auctions depend on the team being ready to go before the first gavel drops.

Why Join Our Team?

• Competitive Pay: Starting at $16-19/hr .
• Career Growth: Many of our managers started on the lot. We love to promote from within!
• Fast-Paced Environment: The day flies by, and you’ll get to see a massive variety of vehicles.
