Description
Bellevue, WA | Volvo | European luxury brand | Porter | Lot | Entry level | Guest services | Eastside Seattle | Pacific Northwest | Veterans encouraged to apply | $20 - $24/hr
IS THIS YOU?
• You're reliable, self-directed, and take pride in keeping things running smoothly -- the vehicles you move are handled with care, the lot stays organized, and the service team can count on you without having to check
• You're looking for a stable, active role at a well-run Eastside luxury store where your dependability and attention to detail are recognized and the work has a clear, purposeful structure every day
WHO WE ARE
Swickard Auto Group is a hospitality company that happens to sell and service cars. We believe the best guest experiences start with the best employee experiences. That's why we've grown to 40+ rooftops across the West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii while maintaining a culture built on one simple idea: do right by people, every time.
Volvo Cars Bellevue serves a loyal, tech-forward Eastside ownership community where the standard for vehicle care and presentation is high and consistently applied. The Service Porter is a foundational part of that standard -- moving vehicles carefully, keeping the lot and service lanes organized, and ensuring every Volvo that passes through the service department is handled with the care its owner expects. At a luxury store, the porter who does this role well is genuinely visible to the team and to the guest experience.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Move guest vehicles safely between the service drive, service bays, lot, and delivery areas throughout the shift
• Stage vehicles for service write-up and for guest pickup -- ensuring every vehicle is positioned correctly, locked, and guest-ready
• Perform basic vehicle washes and light detailing as directed to ensure vehicles are returned to guests clean and presentable
• Keep service lanes, the lot, and vehicle staging areas organized and clear throughout the day
• Assist service advisors and technicians with vehicle movement and logistical support as needed
• Communicate any vehicle condition concerns -- new damage, warning lights, or other observations -- immediately to the appropriate team member
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record -- required
• Comfortable driving a wide range of vehicles, including EVs and PHEVs -- Volvo's electrified lineup is a growing part of the fleet moving through this service department
• Reliable and punctual -- the service team's workflow depends on consistent porter coverage throughout the day
• Detail-oriented and careful with vehicles that don't belong to you -- luxury guests notice the condition of their vehicle and the porter who handles it with genuine care reflects that standard
• Prior porter, valet, lot attendant, or driving experience a plus -- not required
WHAT WE OFFER
• $20 - $24/hr
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance and supplemental coverage options
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• A genuine entry point into the automotive industry -- porters who perform at Swickard grow into service support, advisor assistant, and coordinator roles
• Employee vehicle purchase and service discounts
WHY VOLVO CARS BELLEVUE
• Bellevue's Eastside tech community sets a high bar for vehicle care and presentation -- the porter who handles Volvo owner vehicles with consistent care and attention is performing a role that directly supports the guest experience the store is known for
• Volvo's growing electrified lineup means regular exposure to EV and PHEV vehicles -- useful experience for anyone building a career in automotive service
• Swickard is one of the fastest-growing dealer groups in the country -- ranked Top 5 in North America for reputation in the automotive industry
• Our HEART values -- Honor, Engage, Anticipate, Respond, Thank -- apply to how every vehicle is handled just as much as every guest interaction
If you're a reliable, careful driver who takes pride in keeping a well-run service operation moving smoothly and wants to build a career in the automotive industry at a Bellevue Volvo store where the standard is high and your dependability is recognized -- apply.
