About the role
Mercedes-Benz | Luxury & Hospitality | Launch a career in parts operations! The parts department doesn’t get the spotlight — but nothing moves without it. Every repair that gets done, every van that leaves on time, every technician who stays productive depends on a parts team that’s organized, accurate, and fast. If you’re someone who takes pride in doing the behind-the-scenes work that makes everything else possible, we want to meet you. We’re building the parts support team for a brand-new operation, and we’re filling multiple full-time roles . No automotive parts experience required — we will train the right people. What we can’t teach is work ethic, attention to detail, and a hospitality mindset. Bring those, and we’ll build the rest together.

This is a rare ground-floor opportunity . You won’t be inheriting someone else’s culture or fitting into an existing mold — you’ll be helping to build it.
