If you take pride in your work, enjoy working with your hands, and can maintain exceptional quality while working in a fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you!

This position requires a strong attention to detail, a commitment to quality, and the ability to work efficiently without sacrificing craftsmanship.

What You'll Do
  • Install PPF on small, high-traffic areas of vehicles

  • Prepare vehicle surfaces and screens for installation
  • Ensure installations are clean, precise, and free of visible imperfections
  • Perform quality-control inspections on completed work
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and professional work environment
  • Work efficiently to meet daily production goals
  • Handle vehicles and customer property with care and professionalism
  • Follow Mobile Clear Shield installation procedures and quality standards
  • Communicate professionally with team members and dealership personnel

Speed Meets Quality

At Mobile Clear Shield, we understand that working quickly is important but quality always comes first.

The ideal installer knows how to find the balance between speed, consistency, and craftsmanship. You'll be working in a production-focused environment where efficiency matters, but rushing through an installation at the expense of quality is never acceptable.

Experience

Previous experience installing PPF, window film, screen protectors, vinyl, automotive accessories, or other detail-oriented products is a plus, but we are willing to train the right person.

We're looking for someone with the right attitude, work ethic, attention to detail, and willingness to learn.

At Mobile Clear Shield, our reputation is built on the quality of our work and the service we provide to our dealership partners. You'll be joining a growing team where your work directly contributes to our success.

If you're someone who enjoys working with vehicles, takes pride in craftsmanship, and is ready to work hard, work efficiently, and produce high-quality results, we'd love to have you on our team!

Come grow with Mobile Clear Shield and help us deliver a level of quality our dealership partners can count on.
