Job description

Requisition ID: 24104

Sometimes, rebellions start small. Twenty years ago, our company opened its doors with a focus on building heavy-duty products for the motorsports industry, and the Renegade RV name was born the very day we decided to set up a display outside a members-only industry show. That passion to do things differently, rebelling against the status quo, has shaped Renegade into a luxury motorhome legend. Like you, we’re renegades, determined to carve our own path, and fueled by an obsession for extreme quality. You’ll find we take a proprietary approach to motorhome construction because everything we build is made to own the roads you travel.

Renegade RV is part of the larger REV Group (NYSE: REVG), a leading manufacturer of specialty vehicles for the fire & emergency and recreation markets. REV Group’s extensive vehicle line-up includes models such as ambulances, fire trucks, terminal trucks, RV’s and much more.
