If you’re the technician other techs call over when they’re stuck, we’d like to meet you.
Larin Automotive is looking for a working shop foreman who enjoys difficult diagnostics, knows how to approach complicated repairs, and gets satisfaction from helping another technician figure something out.
You may already be a foreman. You may be an experienced diagnostic technician ready for your first formal leadership role. Either way, this is an opportunity to put your experience to work and have a real influence on the quality of the work around you.
The work:
You’ll take on complicated diagnostic jobs and repairs that call for advanced skills, special tools, and careful testing. Alongside your own work, you’ll be the person technicians turn to for help with an unfamiliar repair, an odd symptom, or a comeback that needs a fresh approach.
Sometimes that help is a one-minute conversation. Sometimes it means getting involved and working through a difficult problem together. Being able to explain your thinking and help someone become more capable is a valuable part of this position.
You’ll also hold technicians accountable for finished-work quality and following shop procedures. This is a hands-on role with personal production expectations and daily responsibility for supporting the team.
What comes with the job:
- Hourly pay plus incentives and bonuses, with target total annual compensation of $111,000–$151,000, based on skills and experience.
- A Monday–Friday, 8–5 schedule. Your weekends are yours.
- Paid training and training-related travel to keep developing your skills.
- Health insurance with a company contribution.
- 401(k) with a company match.
- Paid vacation.
- Dental, disability, and life insurance options.
European vehicle experience is a plus, as are ASE Master and L1 certifications. Neither is required. Strong diagnostic ability, sound judgment, and the way you work with other people matter to us.
A note from the owner:
“We’re not perfect, but we have a strong team. People work together and help each other out. We keep things straightforward, and we don’t have much patience for big egos or shop politics.
“This industry gives us plenty of challenges. I’m looking for someone who understands that and wants to work through them with us. Someone who can spot what needs to improve, bring ideas to the table, and help make those improvements happen.
“If that sounds like the kind of shop you’d enjoy being part of, I’d like to talk”.
—Victor Larin, Owner.
