What are the responsibilities and job description for the RV Parts and Inventory Specialist position at RV Depot?
About RV Depot
RV Depot is a family-owned and operated RV dealership that has served Texas families since 1990. Our Cleburne location maintains an inventory of more than 300 pre-owned travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and motorhomes. We combine a large, fast-moving operation with an environment where ownership is present, individual performance matters, and employees can make a visible impact.
Position Overview
RV Depot is seeking an organized, dependable, and knowledgeable RV Parts and Inventory Specialist to support our service and reconditioning departments.
This is not a slow-moving retail counter position. Our parts team plays a critical role in keeping technicians productive, repair orders moving, and RVs completed on schedule. The ideal candidate understands that every missing, incorrect, or delayed part can stop production.
You should be comfortable identifying RV components, working with multiple vendors, managing competing priorities, and maintaining accurate inventory in a fast-paced dealership environment.

- Compare price, availability, freight cost, and delivery time when selecting suppliers.
- Receive incoming shipments and verify quantities, condition, and accuracy.
- Label, organize, stage, and issue parts to the correct technician and repair order.
- Maintain accurate inventory counts, bin locations, order statuses, and transaction records.
- Monitor backorders and proactively communicate delays or substitutions.
- Follow up with vendors regarding missing, damaged, or incorrect shipments.
- Process returns, credits, warranty parts, and defective merchandise.
- Maintain appropriate stock levels for frequently used repair and maintenance items.
- Assist with cycle counts and periodic physical inventory.
- Keep the parts room, receiving area, and storage locations clean and organized.
- Work closely with technicians, service writers, purchasing personnel, and management.
- Help prevent production delays by identifying parts needs early and following orders through completion.
