Car Wash Maintenance Technician

Kansas City Metro Area (Kearney, Cameron, Platte City, MO) Full-Time (45 hrs/week) | Field-Based | Travel Required

Looking for someone who has experience in the following areas:

Equipment and Maintenance

Preventative maintenance on In-Bay Automatic (IBA) wash systems, self-service bays, vacuums, payment systems, and chemical delivery equipment

Diagnosing and repairing electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and control system issues

Working with multimeters, schematics, breaker panels, contactors, single-phase and three-phase power (220/440)

Running conduit, wiring, replacing wiring, making hydraulic hoses, running chemical and water lines, PVC and copper pipe

Installing equipment into concrete anchors, signage, track systems

Garage doors, automatic doors, boilers and floor heating systems

Troubleshooting logically finding the real problem, not throwing parts at it

Minor repairs and maintenance support at oil change lube center locations as needed

Site Appearance and Grounds

Keeping bays, lots, vacuum islands, and equipment looking like somebody cares about them

Pressure washing bays, cleaning oil-water separators, shoveling mud, clearing drains

If it's dirty, you clean it. 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.
