Job description

Our History:

The Storyteller Overland vibe started out as a drawing on a restaurant napkin in 2017 illustrating a desire to help people live more adventurous lives. Back then, very few had ever heard of an adventure van, and some at the restaurant table with CEO Jeffrey Hunter had doubts it would ever sell.

The company officially launched in 2018 with a humble yet confident team of seven employees. Over the next year, we worked on launching our MODE 4x4 and finding dealer partners to work with, and finally, the dream was turning into a reality.

We’ve been fortunate to be full speed ahead since then. We’ve added sister companies to our galaxy and built out quite the impressive team – hopefully you included. We hit 500 vans built, then 1,000, then so many more that these milestones became difficult to keep track of. We’ve added new vehicles to our lineup and have built a massive community of like-minded adventurers that also continues to grow.

As we reflect on our history, though, we remind ourselves that our best ideas are still ahead of us, not behind us. Here’s to saying yes to the next grand adventure!

Workplace Vibe:

We are proud to have a values-based culture, which means we focus less on rules & transacting and more on values & transforming. Our goal is to create workplaces and spaces where great people can do great things in order to thrive and flourish both professionally and personally.

Overview:

As a Quality Production Specialist you will assist in the daily operations of Storyteller’s Quality Production team. You will take full ownership of ensuring that each vehicle is assembled with quality practices as if the vehicle was being built to be purchased by you or a member of your family. This makes you a very important part of the Storyteller Galaxy and a superior brand ambassador of our reputation within our vibrant community of vanlifers, adventure seekers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

General Responsibilities:

• Relentlessly enforce the high-quality standards of Storyteller Overland,
• Work closely with the production team to ensure proper assembly practices and training,
• Viewing multiple points of inspection inside, under, and on top of the product,
• Documenting/recording data to track deviations in assembly practices and parts quality,
• Identifying issues with parts and assembly techniques and following through to find solutions to the problems while working closely with the engineering department,
• Contribute to the overall success of the quality production team by co-elevating with all team members through collaboration, cooperation, and camaraderie,
• Perform additional responsibilities and tasks as assigned to support organizational and team goals.

Work Schedule:
