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:
