Car Wash Maintenance Technician

Kansas City Metro Area (Kearney, Cameron, Platte City, MO)

Full-Time (45 hrs/week) | Field-Based | Travel Required

• 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, contractors, 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

• 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.

• 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

• Every work order documented in our maintenance tracking system with photos, parts used, root cause, and next steps. Non-negotiable.

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.

• Comfortable with a flexible schedule — weekends, early mornings, and after-hours calls are part of the job
