Casual (15-40hrs/wk) Automotive Detailer & Operations Assistant

Job Title: Automotive Detailer & Operations Assistant **Location:** Cranbrook, BC | **Start Date:** Nov 23, 2026 **Compensation:** $21.50/hr + clear path for performance raises **Hours:** Full-Time (Mon–Fri, 9–5) + potential for overtime **The Opportunity** Work directly with the owner of two growing local businesses: **R’n’D Rentals** (truck rentals) and **Foam Fiend Car Care** (premium detailing). This is a dual role for someone who likes variety—one hour you might be helping change oil or swap tires, the next you’re performing a high-end interior restoration. We are looking for a professional who takes pride in "the finish." No previous experience is required; we will train you on everything from paint correction to fleet management. However, we have a very high bar for work ethic. **Our Non-Negotiables (Please Read Carefully)** We run a high-focus, high-standard shop. We are able to compensate high performers well, and offer opportunity for advancement - this isn't a dead-end detail job. To be successful here, you must meet these criteria: * **Non-Smoker:** A core part of our business is odor remediation. If you smoke, you cannot accurately detect the odors we are paid to remove. * **Zero Phone Distraction:** We have a strict "no phones on the floor" policy. We need your focus on the task at hand, not on your screen. * **Self-Starter/Drive:** When there is downtime, you don’t wait for instructions. You find a way to improve the shop—whether that’s organizing tools or prepping for the next day. * **Reliability & Flexibility:** We generally work 9–5, but the automotive world is unpredictable. You must be willing to stay late to finish a job when the workload demands it. * **Valid Driver’s License:** You will be moving and delivering vehicles daily. **What You’ll Do** * **Precision Detailing:** Interior/exterior cleaning, vacuuming, and eventually advanced techniques like ceramic coatings and mold remediation. * **Operations Support:** Greet customers, assist with vehicle pick-ups/drop-offs, process payments. * **Fleet Maintenance:** Assist in performing quality checks on rental trucks to ensure they are client-ready. * **Shop Stewardship:** Keep the workshop organized and professional. **Why Join Us?** You’ll be mentored by an owner with a background in Environmental Engineering who applies analytical problem-solving to business. This isn’t just a "car wash" job; it’s an opportunity to learn the mechanics of running a successful operation. We offer stable work, on-the-job training, and a friendly, supportive environment for someone who is genuinely driven. **How to Apply** We care more about your character than your resume. Email **derek@rndrentals.ca** with: * Your name and contact info. * A brief explanation of why you’re the right fit for a **high-focus, fast-paced** role.
