Profile

Job: Automotive Technician
General Information:
**MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***., Inc. (YPSS) operates seven convenience store/fuel facilities and four automotive repair shops within Yellowstone National Park. Each summer we employ approximately 70 women and men to staff the service stations. In addition we employ sixteen to eighteen persons qualified as automotive technicians to staff four automotive repair service operations. Those employed in the automotive repair facilities range from college-age persons to older, experienced individuals. Younger employees usually are enrolled in or have recently completed training programs in the automotive technical field. Older individuals should have the skills and work background to qualify as journeyman technicians, or equivalent.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Working under the supervision of a location manager, our technicians perform a wide variety of mechanical and technical repairs on passenger cars, pickup trucks, and motor homes belonging to members of the public. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose mechanical and technical problems with a bare minimum of test equipment is essential. Once it has been determined what repairs are required, technicians will advise customers of possible solutions to their problems and make necessary repairs or adjustments as requested. The company supplies minimal hand tools; therefore, individuals employed at the repair services must provide their own. If offered employment with YPSS, technicians may contact the company if they have questions regarding the tool policy. Included in the type of work we do is the operation of service trucks and tow truck units. Operation of tow truck will occur after proper training. Tow truck operation includes towing disabled vehicles of all sizes and vehicle recovery from motor vehicle accidents. Tow truck operation will require evening standby duty for which the technician will be paid a percentage of revenues generated. The ability to
always deal
with the public with courtesy and tact is a job requirement nearly as important as the mechanical/technical knowledge and skills involved. YPSS provides a service to customers who are having vehicle concerns; therefore, enthusiastic, helpful customer service is a priority.

A Commercial Drivers License is not required to operate YPSS tow trucks; however, additional consideration is given in the hiring process to applicants who do have a CDL. YPSS will
perform a mandatory motor vehicle license and background check to determine if our insurance carrier will allow the new respective employee to be added to our policy.
