Team Member

Do you like to serve Customers?
The team member position focuses first on making every customer a happy customer who wants to return to our car wash. We're looking for positive, hard working, motivated people. Prior experience is a customer service type role preferred but we can teach the right candidates the job skills they need. The right attitude,  willingness to learn and attention to detail are more important than experience. 

Please note:
Blue Sky is an express car wash, so our employees are not directly involved in prepping or washing cars. The equipment does all that. Our team members help customers with purchasing a single wash or monthly membership, and load/guide them onto the conveyor inside the car wash tunnel. The rest is done by the equipment, including drying. 
 

Responsibilities Include (but are not limited to):

  • Serving as casher and processing customer's financial transactions
  • Greeting customers and helping them properly load car onto conveyor
  • Performing opening and closing duties
  • Working in all types of weather - in fact, we're busiest in winter months
  • Focusing on following process and safety procedures at all times
  • Performing light manual labor - must be able to stand/walk for long periods of time and lift up to 25 pounds

We offer:

  • Competitive wages as well as volume and sales bonuses - we work as a team and the team is rewarded on high volume days
  • Day or evening hours (weekend availability required, but no late nights) 
  • Advancement opportunities for top performers
  • Tuition reimbursement or student loan repayment assistance for full time employees 
  • Full-time or part-time positions
  • And of course, FREE car washes!
