Job Description - Automotive Shop & Upfit Associate

Position Title: Automotive Shop & Upfit Associate
Location: Pevely, MO 63070
Company: Anew Transport
Job Type: Full-Time
Salary: Competitive, Based on Experience

Overview: Anew Transport is seeking a dependable and motivated Automotive Shop & Upfit Associate to support daily operations in our vehicle shop and assist with aftermarket installations. This position is ideal for someone who takes initiative, works well independently, and is not afraid of physical, labor-intensive tasks. The role includes a combination of shop support, light vehicle detailing, accessory installation, and general labor—and plays a key part in keeping our operations running smoothly.
While the initial focus is on general shop duties, this role also involves installation of aftermarket components such as brush guards, ladder racks, and lighting kits. As our Upfit Department grows, the selected candidate will be well-positioned to take on more advanced responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities:
General Shop & Operational Support (Primary Duties):

Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment, including sweeping bays, clearing debris, disposing of packaging and scrap, and resetting spaces between jobs.
Assist technicians by staging vehicles, prepping workspaces, and providing labor support (moving, lifting, positioning parts, etc.).
Run parts, tools, or other items as needed to support shop management and technicians throughout the day.
Perform light vehicle detailing, including interior and exterior cleaning, vacuuming, and surface preparation.
Maintain and organize detailing carts and shop supplies.
Support shop cleanliness beyond personal work areas—this includes cleaning up after others when needed and taking initiative to keep the entire space operational.
Work comfortably in all weather conditions, including high temperatures during summer months, while performing both indoor and outdoor duties.

Aftermarket Installation & Upfitting (Expected Duties):

Install bolt-on accessories including brush guards, ladder racks, toolboxes, auxiliary lighting, and running boards.
Follow manufacturer installation diagrams and instructions with precision.
Assist with basic wiring and mechanical prep under supervision.
Operate common hand tools, basic shop equipment, and follow safety procedures at all times.

Required Attributes & Qualifications:

Valid driver’s license with clean driving record; must be able to safely move vehicles around the property.
Ability to lift and move up to 50 lbs. and perform physical labor throughout the day.
Comfortable working outdoors in varying and uncomfortable temperatures.
Self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision.
A positive team player who takes pride in grunt work and sees value in every task, no matter how small.
Mechanically inclined, with a basic understanding of tools and vehicle systems.
Able to follow instructions, read diagrams, and stay organized in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in a shop, detailing, or automotive service environment.
Prior exposure to aftermarket installations or mechanical work.
Interest in long-term growth within upfitting, vehicle customization, or shop management.

Benefits After 90 Days:

401(k) Retirement Plan: 100% match on the first 3% of contributions, 50% match on the next 2%.
Company-Paid Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage with optional dental and vision.
Paid Time Off (PTO): Generous accrual to support work-life balance.
Paid Holidays: Six (6) company-designated holidays per year.
