* Lead Ambassador: Build and nurture deep relationships with local high schools and technical colleges.

You are the bridge between education and industry.


* Program Management: Oversee our Youth Apprentice (High School) and Technician Student (College) programs, acting as the primary point of contact for students, parents, and educators.


* Event Leader: Own our recruitment calendar—leading career fairs, shop open houses, and classroom presentations.


* Internal Partner: Work side-by-side with our Service Managers to ensure students are being mentored properly and that our shop teams are engaged in the development process.

Qualification


* The Connector: You have 2–5 years of experience in HR, recruitment, or talent development (Automotive experience is a major plus!).


* The Communicator: You can command a room during a presentation and have the empathy to mentor a student through their first week on the job.


* The Organizer: You’re comfortable managing multiple programs and schedules simultaneously without breaking a sweat.


* The Professional: You handle sensitive information with discretion and understand the importance of HR compliance.


* Education: A Bachelor’s degree in HR or Business is preferred, but we value proven experience and "hustle" just as much.


* Tech Savvy: Proficient in Google Suite and comfortable using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
