Job Description
Job Summary: We are hiring a hands-on Maintenance Technician to support multiple car wash locations throughout East Tennessee. This role is critical to keeping our equipment running safely and efficiently so our sites can operate without downtime.
If you are mechanically inclined, enjoy troubleshooting real-world equipment problems, and prefer working independently in the field, this role will be a strong fit.
You will be responsible for diagnosing issues, performing repairs, and completing preventative maintenance on a wide range of car wash systems including mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and water treatment equipment. This position requires someone who is dependable, quick to problem-solve, and comfortable responding to urgent equipment breakdowns when needed.
We value technicians who take ownership of their work, communicate clearly with site managers, and understand the impact equipment downtime has on daily operations and customer experience.
What You’ll Do (Day-to-Day Responsibilities)
In this role, your day will vary depending on equipment needs and service calls. Typical responsibilities include:
- Performing scheduled preventative maintenance on tunnel and support equipment
- Diagnosing and troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic issues
- Repairing and servicing pumps, motors, blowers, conveyors, and chemical systems
- Maintaining air compressors, plumbing systems, and water reclaim systems
- Responding to breakdowns and emergency service calls as needed
- Testing equipment to ensure proper operation after repairs
- Documenting maintenance work, repairs, and parts used
- Communicating with site managers to coordinate repairs and reduce downtime
- Following all safety procedures and ensuring safe equipment operation
This is a field-based role where no two days are exactly the same. You will be moving between locations and handling both scheduled maintenance and unexpected repairs.

- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in wet, outdoor, or industrial environments
- Strong troubleshooting skills and attention to detail

Candidates who do not meet these requirements should not apply, as hands-on experience is necessary to be successful in this role.

The following experience is a plus but not required:
- Car wash equipment experience (Sonny’s, MacNeil, PECO, or similar systems)
- Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) troubleshooting
- Basic PLC understanding or diagnostic exposure
