Default Looking to hire another Technician...

Updated 2-27-2007

Due to the rapid growth in my customer base over the 2006-2007 year, I am looking for another technician. We are now averaging around 10-14 vehicles per week and it's time to expand!

What I am looking for.....

-Must have basic experience with Late model GM EFI vehicles (LT1, GenIII powered cars and trucks)
-Ford EFI, and SVT vehicles experience a plus
-Welding experience a plus
-own tools a plus

-If entry level, must be motivated to learn how to repair/upgrade some of the most exciting vehicles the automotive performance market has to offer.

I have been in the automotive/high performance field for 16 years now. Over this time period, I have learned how to do some things that other shops won't do or just simply can't do and alot of this specialty/fabrication work is starting to come in large amounts, even from other Texas based shops. I need to be available to these customers and need another techician to handle the everyday (R&R, heads/cam, headers, gears, suspension, etc) kind of work. If you feel you can fit this position, please call me or send resume to sales@iconautosports.com

Thanks,

Mike @ Icon

Good luck Mike. I'm sure you'll find someone good.

Mike is good to work for. I did plenty of work learning to do stuff myself up there and Mike walked me through every single thing I needed (On my own car of course). So if you know most of your stuff and need to learn the rest of it he can show you the exact right way to do so.
