Work Independently. Stay Active. Build a Career in Automotive.

Pro-MotionPix is looking for a reliable, hardworking Automotive Inventory Technician to join our team. This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in automotive, warehouse, delivery, construction, landscaping, or other hands-on roles who enjoys working independently and staying active throughout the day.

In this role, you will visit assigned automotive dealerships to help manage their online vehicle inventory by capturing photos, 360° spins, and videos using a company-provided iPhone and app.

No professional photography experience is required. We provide paid training and teach you the process. The most successful team members are dependable, organized, comfortable working outdoors, and able to manage their day independently.

This is not a creative photography position. It is a structured, process-driven role focused on consistency, accuracy, and helping dealerships keep their inventory updated.

What You’ll Do:

  • Drive to assigned dealership locations using your own reliable vehicle.

  • Capture vehicle photos, 360° spins, and videos using a company-issued iPhone and app.

  • Locate vehicles, keys, and dealership contacts to complete daily assignments.

  • Move vehicles into designated photo areas on dealership lots.

  • Communicate with dealership staff regarding missing vehicles, keys, or inventory issues.

  • Maintain a consistent schedule and complete assigned routes efficiently.

  • Work independently while representing Pro-MotionPix professionally.

Who We're Looking For:

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and has experience in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Ideal backgrounds include:

  • Automotive (detailers, porters, lot attendants, lube technicians, inventory specialists)

  • Warehouse or material handling

  • Construction or skilled trades

  • Landscaping

  • Delivery or route-based positions

  • Other physically demanding jobs

Successful candidates are:

  • Reliable with a strong work history

  • Comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions

  • Able to stay active and on their feet throughout the day

  • Self-motivated and able to work independently

  • Comfortable communicating with customers and dealership staff

  • Strong problem-solvers who can handle challenges as they come up



Requirements

  • Minimum 1 year of consistent work history preferred.

  • Experience in automotive, warehouse, construction, landscaping, delivery, or other physical labor roles preferred.

  • Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle required.

  • Comfortable working outdoors and performing physical tasks.

  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

  • Comfortable using technology and learning new apps.

  • Manual transmission experience is a plus but not required.

  • Must pass pre-employment drug screen and background check.



BenefitsCompensation & Benefits:

  • $25.00++ per hour (Combination of base pay + per-vehicle photo payout)

  • Paid training

  • Company-provided iPhone and equipment

  • Mileage reimbursement between dealership stops

  • Company uniform shirt

  • Monday-Friday schedule with no weekends

  • Independent work environment

  • 401k, Health, Dental, and Vision benefits for full-time employees

If you enjoy working independently, staying active, and being part of the automotive industry, this could be a great fit.
