Operating Partner

Big Dan’s Car Wash is a rapidly growing express car wash company with locations in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. As a best-in-class operation, we are seeking leaders who don’t just want a job—they want to make an impact by rolling up their sleeves and driving results.

Successful Operating Partners are ambitious, energetic, and highly motivated hands-on leaders with a strong entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to lead from the front. They run the business as if it were their own, taking full ownership of performance, culture, sales, and day-to-day execution.

The Operating Partner is responsible for training, and developing a high-performing team while actively working alongside them to deliver efficient, cost-effective operations that meet and exceed Big Dan’s standards.

Sales performance is a core expectation of this role. Operating Partners actively sell, set the pace for membership growth, coach in the moment, and hold the team accountable to revenue goals through presence and example.

This is a hands-on operational role. The ideal candidate demonstrates a strong understanding of all tunnel equipment, wash systems, chemical delivery systems, hydraulic and pneumatic components, and routine preventative maintenance. Must be capable of diagnosing operational issues, performing basic mechanical troubleshooting, and partnering with the Maintenance Team to ensure maximum equipment uptime and operational efficiency.

If you are someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves selling, enjoys solving problems, and takes pride in building strong teams—it is an opportunity to make a measurable impact.

Above all, the Operating Partner is committed to exceeding expectations by delivering an extraordinary customer experience and an exceptionally clean car for every customer—every visit.
