About the Role

This is an entry point into a fast-growing EV career. As an EV Reconditioning Technician I, you’ll handle the foundational maintenance and reconditioning work that gets every vehicle retail-ready, while building hands-on EV expertise under the direction of our senior technicians. It’s a role for someone early in their career who does clean, reliable work, takes coaching well, and wants to grow into high-voltage diagnostics over time. Recent graduates of accredited automotive programs are encouraged to apply.

What You’ll Do

  • Perform routine maintenance and light reconditioning — brakes, tires, suspension and steering, fluids, filters, wipers, and 12V battery service
  • Complete reconditioning tasks to prepare vehicles for retail sale under the guidance of senior technicians
  • Assist with inspections and basic diagnostics, flagging issues for senior-tech review
  • Follow OEM and Ever procedures for safe handling around high-voltage systems
  • Complete pre-delivery and post-reconditioning quality checks
  • Document all work accurately in Ever’s internal systems
  • Support parts handling — receiving, staging, and inventory — as needed
  • Build EV-specific skills through on-the-job training and manufacturer coursework
  • Collaborate with recon, inventory, and logistics teams to hit throughput targets
  • Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace

Qualifications & Fit

  • 0–2 years of automotive technician experience, or a recent graduate of an accredited automotive program
  • Able to perform basic repairs independently — brakes, tires, suspension, fluids, and filters
  • High-voltage safety awareness, or willingness to obtain certification (Ever supports this)
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and a genuine willingness to learn EV systems
  • Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and basic scan tools
  • Detail-oriented, with real pride in quality work
  • Reliable, coachable, and a team player in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
  • Passion for EVs and future mobility
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean record (must be 21+ to road test per policy)
  • High school diploma or GED preferred

Technical Skills

  • Foundational understanding of basic electrical theory and safe use of a DVOM (multimeter)
  • Comfortable with brakes, suspension and steering, and tire and alignment basics
  • Ability to follow service procedures, checklists, and repair orders
  • Experience servicing EVs (Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc.) a plus
  • Multi-make, high-volume reconditioning experience (CarMax, Carvana, etc.) a plus
  • ASE entry-level certification, or willingness to pursue A-series certifications, a plus

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • PTO
  • 401(k) plan

Why Ever and this role?

  • Launch an EV career with a clear, structured path to Senior Technician
  • Work hands-on with the newest EV models
  • Learn directly from senior diagnostic technicians
  • Join the fastest-growing EV retailer in the U.S.
  • Build rare, high-demand EV technical expertise from day one
  • Direct impact on vehicle quality and customer experience
