MASTER TECHNICIAN

Jim Taylor Auto Group • Ruston, LA

10d • $50 - $55 • Onsite

About The Position

Jim Taylor Auto Group is hiring factory-certified Master-level technicians for its Monroe (Buick GMC), Ruston (Ford Lincoln), and Rayville (Chevrolet) stores. The position pays $50–$55 per flag hour based on certification level: GM Master / World Class or Ford Senior Master. During the first 90 days, technicians are guaranteed 40 hours per week at their full rate while learning the shop and building their book. After 90 days, compensation is straight flat rate with no cap on flagged hours, and the pay plan is provided in writing before the technician starts.

Technicians handle drivability, electrical, and heavy-line work suited to their certifications on late-model GM and Ford vehicles. Dispatch is managed by a person, with the goal of keeping each technician supplied with appropriate work. The shops have a warranty and customer-pay mix and parts departments that stock for the shop.

The company emphasizes teamwork, accountability, initiative, customer-focused recommendations, and respectful treatment of coworkers. It offers a structured first 90 days with an assigned mentor, paid OEM certification and ASE support, and opportunities to advance within a three-generation family-owned auto group that has served Northeast Louisiana for more than 20 years.
