Are you a 1st Year Apprentice looking for a dealership to support you on your way to being a Journeyman Technician? Like – really support you on that journey.
Harris Victoria Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is under exciting new management in our service department, and we are looking for a driven 1st Year Apprentice Tech to join our team.
This position is an excellent way to grow your career with a high-volume dealership. We provide on-the-job paid training, mentorship from master technicians, and we will pay for your remaining schooling costs to help you on your way to achieve your Journeyman certification.
Our hiring philosophy is “Hire Attitude, Train Skills”. So, if you’re upbeat, have a positive attitude, love to work hard, and do continuous training, we want to invest in you.
Here at Harris Chrysler, we help our 1st Year Apprentice Technicians grow using training methods that you won’t exactly find anywhere else as robust, such as;
- You get your own dedicated hoist.
- You’ll get to do all the work you’re qualified & trained for – not just oil changes.
- We don’t give the work you find on upselling/inspecting vehicles. If you find work that gets upsold to customers, and you’re qualified to do it – you get to do it, and not give it away to another more senior tech.
- You’ll get to learn how to do some software updates and vehicle trim repairs.
- We’ll put you through Chrysler’s tech training right away, so you can do more repairs and new vehicle inspections.
- We’ll pay for your tuition upfront on all your Apprentice school training, and any other training you might need.
- We’ll support you and send you to apprenticeship school as fast as you can finish your minimum hours before going back to school. There is no delay, or black-out dates.
- When we send you to school, you have a job when you get back, where you just continue you where you left off – but you get a huge wage increase right away upon passing your apprentice level.
- We’ll send you to school as soon as we can, without have to wait for another tech to return. As fast as we can move you towards a journeyman, we are.
- We’ll have you working with other techs to help get your skill level up.
- We’ll teach you how to work at dealership-level standards, and be best in class. Something you’ll see you peers in your apprentice class my envy you for.
- On Day 1 – we’ll give you health benefits. No waiting for 3 months like every other employer.
- We have a formal and public wage scale that apprentices get to see and follow. Once you become a 2nd Year Apprentice, that day you get $29.40 per hour. The day you become a 3rd Year Apprentice, $33.60 per hour. A 4th year, on day 1, you get $37.80. All they way up to $53.00 per hour as a Journeyman, where you can decide if you want to be a specialist and get specialty training, like a Diesel Tech, or a Transmission, or Diagnosis and Electrical Technician. Your path is up to you.
- You’ll work in a massive and modern 4-year-old automotive repair facility. Not ratty workspace, or trashy equipment.
If you’re looking to work in a dealership, with an employer that farms their own Journeyman technicians, and actually has a clear, and formal roadmap that accelerates you from 1st Year to Journeyman, you’ll want to apply with us here at Harris Chrysler.
