About the Role

This is an entry point into a fast-growing EV career. As an EV Reconditioning Technician I, you’ll handle the foundational maintenance and reconditioning work that gets every vehicle retail-ready, while building hands‑on EV expertise under the direction of our senior technicians. It’s a role for someone early in their career who does clean, reliable work, takes coaching well, and wants to grow into high‑voltage diagnostics over time. Recent graduates of accredited automotive programs are encouraged to apply.

What You’ll Do

• Perform routine maintenance and light reconditioning — brakes, tires, suspension and steering, fluids, filters, wipers, and 12V battery service
• Complete reconditioning tasks to prepare vehicles for retail sale under the guidance of senior technicians
• Assist with inspections and basic diagnostics, flagging issues for senior‑tech review
• Follow OEM and Ever procedures for safe handling around high‑voltage systems
• Complete pre‑delivery and post‑reconditioning quality checks
• Document all work accurately in Ever’s internal systems
• Support parts handling — receiving, staging, and inventory — as needed
• Build EV‑specific skills through on‑the‑job training and manufacturer coursework
• Collaborate with recon, inventory, and logistics teams to hit throughput targets
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace

Qualifications & Fit

• 0–2 years of automotive technician experience, or a recent graduate of an accredited automotive program
• Able to perform basic repairs independently — brakes, tires, suspension, fluids, and filters
• High‑voltage safety awareness, or willingness to obtain certification (Ever supports this)
• Strong mechanical aptitude and a genuine willingness to learn EV systems
• Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and basic scan tools
• Detail‑oriented, with real pride in quality work
• Reliable, coachable, and a team player in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment
• Passion for EVs and future mobility
• Valid driver’s license with a clean record (must be 21+ to road test per policy)
• High school diploma or GED preferred

Technical Skills

• Foundational understanding of basic electrical theory and safe use of a DVOM (multimeter)
• Comfortable with brakes, suspension and steering, and tire and alignment basics
• Ability to follow service procedures, checklists, and repair orders
• ASE entry‑level certification, or willingness to pursue A‑series certifications, a plus
• Competitive salary + performance bonus
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO
• 401(k) plan

Why Ever and this role?

• Launch an EV career with a clear, structured path to Senior Technician
• Work hands‑on with the newest EV models
• Learn directly from senior diagnostic technicians
• Join the fastest‑growing EV retailer in the U.S.
