We are currently looking to hire a Service Porter, a vital role that blends physical activity with customer service and operational support in our busy dealership. This position is ideal for individuals who prefer an active work style and thrive in a non-traditional office environment. Porters at Palmen Motors are more than just employees; they are essential team members who keep the dealership running smoothly, ensuring that both new and used vehicle inventories are maintained to high standards. The job will involve a variety of tasks including moving and cleaning cars, assisting customers, supporting sales and service staff, and managing vehicle lot organization. This role requires a proactive and positive individual who enjoys a dynamic, team-oriented atmosphere where work feels more like fun than a typical job.

To remain competitive and attract the best talent, Palmen Motors has recently enhanced its compensation and benefits package.

The Service Porter will report directly to the Service & Parts Director and will be responsible for maintaining the appearance and functionality of the vehicle inventory by cleaning interiors and exteriors, handling fluid top-offs, and battery replacements as needed. This key role demands meticulous attention to detail, excellent customer service skills, and the ability to work efficiently both independently and as part of a cohesive team. Candidates with a valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and a positive, can-do attitude will find this position rewarding and engaging, with plenty of opportunities for growth within the dealership.
