For more than 70 years, Walser Automotive Group has put people first: our customers, our employees, and our communities. As a familyowned, family-run company, we've grown to 29 dealerships representing 26 brands across Minnesota, Kansas, and Illinois. We lead with innovation, technology, and a promise to deliver an exceptional experience every time. And your work here matters: a portion of every vehicle sold and serviced supports the Walser Foundation, investing in schools, nonprofits, and workforce programs in our communities. At Walser, success starts with people. Join us to build a career where you can grow, belong, and make a real impact.

ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a hands-on, fast-paced role, and no two days look alike. You'll support six locations across the metro, and it's common to work out of several buildings in a single day — a leaking faucet and a run of burnt-out ballasts in the morning, a scissor lift and a carpentry repair in the afternoon. If you like variety, working with your hands, and owning problems end to end, you'll do well here. This role is more physically demanding than most positions in our organization. Please review the Physical Demands section before applying.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Use our ticketing system to plan and prioritize your workday, responding to all requests within 24 hours
• Travel between six locations, often several in a single day, to assess and resolve facility issues on site
• Identify facility-related issues, propose a plan of action, and execute it promptly
• Handle plumbing repairs, including replacing faucets and fixtures and repairing leaks
• Complete light electrical work, including switches, outlets, lamps, ballasts, and drivers
• Troubleshoot, service, and maintain HVAC systems
• Perform carpentry and painting work across buildings, grounds, and interiors
• Assist with and perform preventative maintenance on buildings, grounds, and equipment
• Safely operate a man lift, scissor lift, forklift, skid steer, and snowplow as the work requires
• Coordinate with CBRE and other third-party facilities partners — sharing work orders and directing day-to-day work in our buildings
• Maintain regulatory compliance and follow all safety requirements, including eyewear and hard-toed, slip-resistant footwear in service departments
• Transport tools and equipment between job sites, and support office set-ups and tear-downs
• Occasionally perform janitorial functions for buildings, grounds, and equipment using cost-effective, efficient methods
• Work independently with minimal supervision on other duties, tasks, and projects as assigned

SCHEDULE & ON-CALL

• Full-time, typically Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with some flexibility
• Occasional early starts and after-hours work depending on facility needs, weather, and project timing
• Rotating on-call Friday through Sunday, responding to critical calls during that window, with additional compensation for on-call weekends

WHAT YOU BRING

• Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record
• 18 years of age or older
• Ability to lift a minimum of 50 pounds

• HVAC or boiler certification
• Ability to troubleshoot, repair, and perform preventative maintenance

• Experience operating a forklift, skid steer, man lift, or snowplow
• Willingness to obtain certifications as appropriate

PHYSICAL DEMANDS & WORKING CONDITIONS
