Master-Level Automotive Technician / Builder (Custom Cars & Coachbuilding)

Company: SaltWorks MFG Location: Sarasota, FL Job Type: Full-Time

We are not a dealership.

If your skillset is scanning codes and swapping parts, this is not your lane.

We are a high-end custom automotive and coachbuilding shop building one-off vehicles at the highest level. Every car is different. Every system is integrated from scratch. Every detail matters.

We need a true mechanic / builder who can think, diagnose, fabricate, and execute.

What You’ll Actually Do

Diagnose and solve complex mechanical and electrical problems without a playbook

Assemble full vehicles from bare chassis to final delivery

Integrate drivetrains, suspension systems, braking systems, and electronics

Work with custom and OEM components in the same build

Collaborate with fabrication, trim, and engineering teams

Own your work—quality, function, and finish

What We’re Looking For

3+ years hands-on experience (custom, restoration, race, or high-end performance preferred)

Strong diagnostic ability (not just parts replacement)

Deep understanding of:

Engine systems (LS, LT, Coyote, etc.)

Suspension geometry and setup

Electrical systems and wiring integration

Ability to problem-solve without constant direction

Pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail

Bonus Skills (Not Required, But Valuable)

Experience with custom builds or hot rods

Ability to fabricate or modify components as needed

Familiarity with CAN systems, aftermarket ECUs, or wiring systems

Experience working alongside CAD/CNC and engineering teams

What You Won’t Be Doing

Flat rate work

Warranty jobs

Repetitive dealership tasks

Being micromanaged

What You Get

Work on some of the highest-end custom builds in the country

A team that cares about quality, not shortcuts

Clean, organized, professional shop environment

Competitive pay based on skill level

Opportunity to grow into leadership roles

Our Standard

At SaltWorks, we operate on:

Do it Right

Customer First

Quality is Job 1

Cleanliness

Imagination

Teamwork

If that resonates, you’ll fit here.
