Whether it's in the shop or out in the field, our Parts team is the engine behind everything our technicians do. We're looking for a hands-on, detail-driven *Parts Associate* to join our San Marcos location - someone equally comfortable managing inventory and orders at a desk as they are out running parts when the job calls for it.
- WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- This is a hybrid role: you'll handle the day-to-day parts ordering and inventory management that keeps our service operations running smoothly, and you'll also run parts as needed to support technicians in the shop and in the field.

- Receive, verify, and document incoming parts orders; resolve discrepancies with vendors
- Assist with cycle counts and inventory reconciliation to maintain stock accuracy
- Communicate proactively with service managers regarding order status and any issues affecting job completion
- Deliver parts to technicians in the shop and to mobile service crews throughout the San Marcos area as needed
- Pick up parts from vendors and suppliers when required — accuracy and urgency on every run
- Verify parts accuracy before every delivery — right part, right tech, every time
- Assist with inventory organization, restocking, and parts receiving between orders
- Maintain cleanliness and organization of the parts area

- Solid understanding of parts sourcing and procurement processes
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Strong organizational skills and high attention to detail
- Clear, professional communication skills — written and verbal
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment, both at the counter and on the road
- Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite; experience with inventory or service management software is a plus
- Must pass a background check, MVR (Motor Vehicle Record) review, and pre-employment drug screening

- Familiarity with truck, diesel, or heavy-duty vehicle parts
- Experience supporting technicians in a shop, mobile, or fleet environment
