THE ROLE As a Junior Maintenance Technician at El Car Wash, you're on the fast track to becoming a full Maintenance Technician. You'll work side-by-side with five experienced Techs across multiple Florida locations, learning our equipment, building real mechanical skills, and proving you're ready to run your own sites.
