Job description:

Parts Coordinator (Heavy Duty) — $800/week + 4% GP

We’re a busy heavy‑duty repair shop running on Tekmetric. We don’t do “waiting on parts.” If bays are waiting, money is leaking. We need a Parts Coordinator who moves fast, orders right the first time, protects margin, and keeps the shop in motion.

Pay

• $800 per week flat
• 4% Gross Profit commission (paid the following month)
• This role is built for someone who understands: speed + accuracy = GP per hour

The One Job

Eliminate “waiting on parts” while protecting parts margin.

What You’ll Own (No Excuses)

• Fast sourcing + ordering: immediate action on parts needs (no “I’ll get to it”)
• First-time‑right accuracy: verify fitment and order complete kits (hardware, fluids, seals, fittings, etc.)
• ETA control: confirmed ETAs only; proactive updates before delays hit the bay
• Plan B execution: alternate vendor/brand/dealer/used/overnight when needed
• Returns + cores: processed daily—no piles, no lost credits
• RO visibility in Tekmetric: part #, brand, cost, ETA, core + freight notes tied to the job
• Margin protection: stop GP leaks (missing lines, missed supplies, freight/core mistakes)

Heavy Duty Reality (You Must Be Comfortable With)

• Freight coordination (dock/no dock, liftgate, delivery windows, damage checks)
• Large cores and core credits (tracking matters)
• The cost of wrong parts is massive—this role demands discipline

What You Don’t Do

• You don’t diagnose vehicles.
• You don’t let jobs stall quietly.
• You don’t “hope” on ETAs.

What Success Looks Like (Scoreboard)

• Near‑zero bay downtime minutes due to parts
• High first‑time‑right order rate
• Strong parts GP %
• Fast return/core cycle time
• Low and controlled backorder age

Requirements

• Prior parts experience (automotive or heavy duty preferred)
• Strong vendor communication and ability to move quickly under pressure
• Organized, detail‑driven (VIN/build/axle/brake package matters)
• Comfortable using shop software (Tekmetric experience is a plus)

Work Style Fit

This is not a slow office job. We value:

• urgency over comfort
• systems over heroics
• accountability over excuses
• “If you’ve ever said ‘I’m waiting on the vendor to call me back,’ this won’t be a fit.”
• “We move fast, communicate early, and keep bays turning—every day.”

If you like clear expectations, fast pace, and getting paid based on performance—apply.

Apply with: a short note on your parts experience + what systems you’ve used (Tekmetric, RO Writer, etc.).

Benefits

• 401(k)
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
