Coverage: Assigned car wash sites

Full-Time or Part-Time | Field-Based | Travel Between Sites

Your Role

You are responsible for the appearance, cleanliness, and customer-facing presentation of your assigned car wash sites. When a customer pulls onto our lot, what they see and experience starts with your work. A clean site, working vacuums, picked-up trash, and a presentable lot — that is what tells the customer we care.

Your role also includes being a set of eyes on every site you visit. You look for visual problems with equipment, signage, and the property — anything broken, leaking, damaged, or out of place.

This is an important role with a clear growth path. Site Attendants who demonstrate ownership, attitude, and a willingness to learn can move into the Car Wash Technician Apprentice role when a position opens.

1. Site Cleaning and Grounds Keeping

Keep the property clean and presentable at all times. The standard is that a customer should never have a reason to comment on the site being dirty.
Pick up trash across the entire lot — parking, vacuum islands, entrances, around the bays. Empty trash cans before they overflow.
Hang up vacuum hoses, replace torn or damaged hoses, keep vacuum islands clean and presentable.
Pressure wash bays, clean bay walls, clear mud and debris from drains, keep bay floors clean.
Wipe down payment kiosks, change machines, vending equipment, and signage. No cobwebs, no dust, no grime.
Remove stickers, graffiti, and vandalism as soon as you spot them.
Keep the parking lot blown off, free of trash and debris.
Maintain the landscaping (if any) — pull weeds, trim overgrowth, keep the area looking maintained.
Keep the dumpster area contained and clean.

2. Visual Equipment Checks and Reporting

You are eyes on every site you visit. As you clean, you watch for problems — anything broken, leaking, damaged, malfunctioning, or out of place.
If you spot a problem, document it.

3. Travel and Multi-Site Coverage

Visit your assigned sites on a regular schedule. Frequency depends on each site's needs — some daily, some weekly.
A reliable personal vehicle is required if covering multiple sites. Vehicle allowance or mileage reimbursement provided as applicable to the position.
Plan your routes efficiently. Don't waste travel days.

4. Character and Values

Extreme ownership. You own your outcomes. If a site isn't clean, that's on you. No excuses, no blame.
Attitude of gratitude. You show up with energy. You're positive. You're glad to be here.
Servant heart. You treat every person — customer, teammate, manager — the way you'd want to be treated. No task is beneath you.
Figure it out. When you don't know how to handle something, you call someone, you ask, you don't sit on your hands.
Always do the right thing. Integrity. When nobody's watching, you still do it right. Follow safe work practices.
Keep growing. You invest in your own development. Watch training videos, ask questions, learn how the equipment works. Growth comes from curiosity.

5. HR Compliance

Clock in and out accurately. Take your required breaks and meal periods.
Be where you're supposed to be, when you're supposed to be there.
Follow all company policies as outlined in the Team Member Handbook and the Valvoline Code of Conduct.

6. Self-Development and Growth Path

This role is a stepping stone. Site Attendants who consistently meet the standard, demonstrate ownership, and show willingness to learn can advance to Car Wash Technician Apprentice when a position opens.
Ask the technician questions when you have downtime. Watch how they work. Learn about the equipment you clean every day.
Invest in your own learning — watch training videos, read manuals, ask for shadow time.
Share what you're learning with your manager. Initiative is noticed.

7. Time Management

Plan your day. Know which sites you're hitting, what each site needs, and how long it should take.
Don't rush — the standard matters. But don't waste time either.
Batch supplies and tools so you're not making extra trips.

8. Customer Interaction

When you encounter customers on site, be professional, friendly, and helpful. You represent the company.
If a customer has a complaint or question, handle it with kindness or direct them to the right person.
Your presence on site is part of the customer experience. A clean, attentive person working the lot tells customers we care.

9. Inventory and Supplies

Keep your supplies stocked — cleaning chemicals, trash bags, basic tools.
Communicate to your manager when supplies are running low. Don't wait until you run out.
Track what you use. Don't waste supplies — but use what's needed to meet the standard.

Schedule and Availability

This role can be full-time or part-time depending on the site coverage need.
Weekends, early mornings, and flexible hours are part of the job. Car washes don't take a day off.
You may be asked to cover additional sites or shift your schedule based on operational needs.
