High-Responsibility Role. High Compensation.
Waves Express Car Wash-voted Best of South Carolina and Best of the Upstate-is seeking a dependable, adaptable
On-Call Manager-in-Training to support multiple locations across the Upstate.
This is not a traditional set-schedule position.
We are looking for a flexible, reliable leader who can step in to cover shifts at various locations when business demands spike or when emergency coverage is needed-sometimes with short notice.
Because of the flexibility and responsibility required, this position offers
premium hourly pay ($20-$23/hr).
What This Role Looks Like
As a Floating Manager-in-Training, you will:
- Travel between locations as needed to provide management coverage
- Step into leadership roles during busy or short-staffed shifts
- Lead teams confidently and maintain operational standards
- Deliver exceptional customer service and drive Wash Club sales
- Manage opening/closing procedures
- Oversee cleanliness, inventory, and minor maintenance
- Jump in hands-on to keep operations running smoothly
- Represent company culture and leadership standards at every site
This role requires independence, maturity, and strong decision-making skills.
Who This Role Is Perfect For
- A former manager who wants flexibility without a fixed schedule
- A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments
- A highly dependable leader with wide-open availability
What We're Looking For
- Prior leadership, supervisory, or management experience required
- Ability to work a highly flexible and unpredictable schedule
- Willingness to travel between locations in the Upstate
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills
- Comfortable working outdoors and on your feet
- Weekend availability required
Retail, restaurant, automotive, or car wash leadership experience is strongly preferred.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Premium Pay: $20-$23 per hour
- Exposure to multi-location leadership experience
- Direct development under senior management
- Growth pathway into full-time salaried management roles
- Free weekly car washes & team perks
- Work with an award-winning, fast-growing organization
