What is a Recon job?

A Recon (short for reconnaissance) job typically involves gathering information, assessing environments, and identifying potential risks or opportunities. This role is common in military, security, and intelligence fields, but also exists in cybersecurity and business research. Recon specialists use various tools and techniques to collect and analyze data, often working discreetly to support strategic planning. The job requires strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to operate in high-pressure situations.

To excel as a Recon (Reconnaissance Specialist), you need strong observational skills, situational awareness, and physical fitness, often supported by military or law enforcement training. Familiarity with surveillance equipment, GPS devices, mapping software, and certifications in tactical operations are commonly required. Attention to detail, adaptability, and effective communication are critical soft skills that set top candidates apart. These abilities help ensure accurate information gathering, safety, and timely reporting in high-stakes environments.

What are typical challenges faced by Recon professionals, and how can they be managed?

Recon professionals often encounter challenges such as operating in unpredictable situations, managing fatigue during extended observation periods, and maintaining situational awareness under pressure. Many teams address these hurdles through rigorous training, rotating assignments, and leveraging advanced technology to streamline data collection. Collaboration with intelligence and operations teams also helps ensure safety and accurate reporting. Staying adaptable and maintaining clear communication are key to overcoming obstacles in this dynamic field.

Job description

Ourisman, Trusted Tradition
Here's to those who think differently. The ones who think that a car dealership's first priority should be the guest. Such a candid idea could only come from Ourisman. Because we're forward thinking, just like the communities we serve. Individuals who won't be constrained by how things "have always been done", but instead strive to do things "how they could be done" and "how they should be done." It is a philosophy we have infused into every fabric of our dealerships, from the bottom up, in every department, and in every Ourisman team member. Changing the way we all think about car buying is just the beginning.
Role Summary
Ourisman Automotive Group is seeking an experienced Onsite Mobile Recon Technician to support our pre-owned vehicle reconditioning operations. This role is ideal for technicians with mobile or SMART repair experience who want consistent, onsite work without customer driveways, weather disruption, or insurance jobs.
More about the role
  • Perform SMART repairs including paint touch-ups, bumper repair, scuffs, scrapes, and minor dent removal.
  • Sand, mask, blend, color-match, and spray to achieve consistent cosmetic finishes
  • Work efficiently within a Rapid Recon workflow to reduce Days in Recon
  • Inspect completed repairs to ensure quality and visual standards are met
  • Operate independently in a mobile-style workflow within an onsite recon environment

What we look for
  • Previous experience in mobile automotive cosmetic repair or SMART repair required
  • Strong proficiency in paint preparation, refinishing, and cosmetic body repair
  • Ability to self-manage workload and production goals
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record

Benefits
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance options
  • Short-term and Long-term disability insurance
  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Paid time off and holiday leave
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth

Ourisman Automotive Group is an equal opportunity employer. We believe in hiring a diverse workforce and sustaining an inclusive, people-first culture. We are committed to non-discrimination on any protected basis, such as disability and veteran status, or any other basis covered under applicable law. Should you require accommodation during the interview process, please advise the hiring manager when contacted for an interview.
