Service and Sales Porter

The position of Sales and Service Porter is vital within motor vehicle dealerships, where the role encompasses the responsibility of receiving, moving, arranging, and maintaining the appearance of vehicles while ensuring the overall orderliness of the vehicle lot. This dynamic work environment requires an individual who is meticulous, highly organized, and adept at multitasking in order to sustain the smooth operations of the dealership’s vehicle inventory. These dealerships typically serve as high-traffic locations where the presentation and condition of vehicles directly influence customer perceptions and sales prospects. Consequently, a Sales and Service Porter plays an essential part in upholding the dealership's reputation and operational efficiency.

In addition to managing the lot, the role often overlaps with duties consistent with those of a Lot Attendant, who is responsible for parking vehicles in pre-assigned areas, conducting thorough damage inspections, and managing the secure listing and storage of vehicle keys. This adds an element of responsibility requiring vigilance and trustworthiness, ensuring each vehicle is accounted for and maintained in pristine condition. The role further extends to functions commonly performed by a Car Wash Attendant, which include washing and polishing both the interiors and exteriors of cars. Typical daily tasks also involve applying soap solutions, removing loose dirt, cleaning tires, rinsing vehicles using hoses, drying surfaces, dusting, vacuuming interiors, removing trash, cleaning seats, and polishing various parts of the vehicles. These activities are crucial for maintaining the visual appeal of the inventory, thereby supporting sales and customer satisfaction.

The Sales and Service Porter position is available as a full-time contract role, inviting committed candidates who thrive in hands-on, physically active employment scenarios. The candidate must be prepared to work outdoors continuously, navigating the physical demands of frequently moving in and out of vehicles, standing, sitting, walking, bending, stooping, squatting, and occasionally lifting up to 5 pounds. This position also requires a flexible work schedule that accommodates overtime, evening shifts, weekends, and holidays to meet dealership operational needs.

Applicants must hold a high school diploma or equivalent and be at least 18 years of age. A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record, free from DUIs and with no more than two moving violations in the past three years, is mandatory due to the nature of the job involving vehicle handling. Professionalism and strong communication skills are essential for interacting courteously with colleagues and customers. Furthermore, candidates must demonstrate the ability to multitask, prioritize duties effectively, and operate various equipment utilized in vehicle cleaning and maintenance processes.

This role offers competitive benefits including health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, paid time off, employee discounts, and flexible scheduling, enhancing both job security and personal wellbeing for the successful candidate. The Sales and Service Porter position is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a rewarding career within the automotive industry, combining physical activity, customer service, and vehicle maintenance into one comprehensive role.
