- The Schedule: 40 Hour work week - M–F, 6:00 am – 3:00 pm shift. Keep your afternoons and weekends.
- The Standard: We work with upscale clients who value quality. No "parts-changing" here—we deal in authentic restoration.
What the Role Demands:
We need a parts specialist who understands that a restoration project is only as fast—and as profitable—as the accuracy of its parts department.

"installed" or "returned"—is clear at a glance.
• Goal-Oriented: A self-starter who can multitask across several different projects without losing track of a single core charge or
backordered item.
• Solution-Oriented: When a part is backordered or "out of stock," you don't stop; you find the next best source that meets our
