Summary
We’re looking for someone to help us prepare trailers for sale, keep our lot neat and organized, and assist with customer or internal trailer repair work. This position will work from our shop in Grandville, MI. The right person will be a team player with a positive outlook, be willing to help in a variety of areas, have a strong work ethic and focus on customer service and high quality standards.

You will be responsible for receiving and preparing new trailer inventory for sale, assisting with various tasks related to our trailer rental business, and maintaining our lot. This includes unloading trailer shipments, assembling some trailer components (wheels, tires, jacks), checking lights and other power/hydraulic components, and washing inventory. This also includes taking marketing pictures, keeping the lot clean and organized, and occasionally maintaining the grounds (pavement, gravel, lawn).
In addition, you will spend a meaningful amount of their time on external customer trailer maintenance and repair projects.

Typical repair & maintenance work includes: wheel bearing repacking/replacement, trailer brake replacement, enclosed trailer body work, trailer frame and gate fabrication, suspension work, coupler replacement, jack replacement, wheel and/or tire replacement, body work on enclosed trailers and diagnosing and fixing wiring issues.
