THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a long-term opportunity to work directly for a single owner while
helping build and operate a premier private workshop. The successful candidate
will play an important role not only in maintaining vehicles and equipment, but
also in shaping the future direction of the workshop itself.
This is not a dealership position. There are no retail
customers, no service writers, no flat-rate billing requirements, and no
pressure to maximize billable hours. The focus is on quality workmanship,
problem solving, organization, craftsmanship, and long-term ownership.
The position is initially based in Western Wisconsin. Over
time, the role may expand to support workshop facilities, vehicles, equipment,
and specialty projects located in both Wisconsin and Tennessee. The successful
candidate will have the opportunity to help develop and standardize multiple
private workshop operations while working on a diverse range of vehicles,
equipment, and mechanical projects.
For the right individual, this represents a rare opportunity
to become a trusted long-term partner in building and maintaining a unique
private collection and workshop operation.
