CREW LEADER
Pit boss. Coach. Crew Leader. The titles may be different, but they’re all synonymous with someone who leads a team of high-performance drivers in the auto industry, whether it’s Daytona, Indianapolis, or the world’s largest, most comprehensive wholesale vehicle marketplace – Manheim.

You’ll also:

Train new drivers, and help them find their place on your tight-knit team.

Coach and monitor all drivers on safety procedures.

Make sure each auction is adequately staffed and assist in communicating schedules and assignments.

Keep an auction day playbook with each Manheim vehicle stock number and lot location, ensuring each vehicle is where it should be when it needs to be.

Collaborate with your lot manager and quadrant coordinator to move vehicles and people to ensure each auction operates like a well-oiled high-performance engine, purring smoothly, safely, and without incident.

Transport drivers, customers, and employees to locations as needed and on schedule.

Perform daily van maintenance, including cleaning, and routine oil changes and upkeep, on vans.

Your road is wide open with opportunities. Change lanes to another Cox company. Get promoted. The sky’s the limit.
