Facilities Manager – Automotive Dealership

Krause Auto Group – Myrtle Beach, SC
BMW of Myrtle Beach | Mercedes-Benz of Myrtle Beach
Full-Time

Krause Auto Group is looking for a hands-on Facilities Manager to take ownership of the maintenance, cleanliness, appearance, and day-to-day condition of our BMW and Mercedes-Benz dealership facility in Myrtle Beach.

This is a working Facilities Manager position—not a desk job.

We are looking for someone who is mechanically inclined, takes pride in their work, notices problems without being told, and enjoys fixing things and keeping a property looking its best.

You will personally handle routine maintenance, repairs, cleaning, and facility needs while coordinating qualified outside vendors for larger or specialized repairs.

What You'll Do

Building Maintenance & Repairs

• Perform daily inspections of our dealership facilities

• Complete light painting, drywall repair, caulking, and touch-up work

• Handle basic plumbing repairs such as toilets, faucets, drains, and minor leaks

• Perform basic electrical repairs within appropriate skill and licensing requirements

• Replace lights, ceiling tiles, filters, fixtures, and other maintenance items

• Repair doors, cabinets, furniture, shelving, hardware, and other dealership equipment

• Handle minor carpentry and general building repairs

• Identify potential problems before they become larger repairs

Vendor & Major Repair Coordination

• Determine when a repair requires an outside contractor

• Contact vendors and obtain estimates

• Schedule approved repairs

• Coordinate contractor access and work

• Inspect completed repairs

• Follow through until the problem is completely resolved

Dealership Cleanliness

We utilize an outside cleaning service, but this position is responsible for ensuring our dealerships remain clean and presentable throughout the entire business day.

Responsibilities include:

• Inspect and clean restrooms hourly and as needed

• Clean customer lounges, employee areas, and common areas as needed

• Clean windows, glass doors, and customer-facing surfaces

• Sweep, mop, vacuum, and spot-clean when necessary

• Clean entrances and exterior areas

• Pick up trash and debris around dealership grounds daily

• Maintain parking lots, sidewalks, and building entrances

• Address spills and cleanliness issues immediately

Service Shops & Service Drives

• Keep service drives clean and presentable

• Sweep and clean shop floors

• Empty technician trash cans and shop trash receptacles

• Address spills promptly

• Coordinate periodic deep cleaning of shop floors

• Help maintain clean, safe, and organized service areas

Break Rooms & Customer Areas

• Stock employee break rooms

• Stock customer snack and beverage stations

• Maintain cups, plates, cutlery, napkins, paper towels, coffee supplies, restroom supplies, cleaning products, trash bags, and other consumables

• Monitor inventory and replenish supplies before they run out

• Keep supply and storage areas clean and organized

Other Daily Responsibilities

• Move or assemble furniture

• Hang signs, displays, pictures, and fixtures

• Assist with meeting or event setup

• Help with deliveries

• Perform minor equipment repairs

• Assist with seasonal and storm preparation

• Identify and correct potential safety hazards

• Handle other facility-related needs that arise throughout the day

Who We're Looking For

The right person for this position is someone who sees something that needs to be done and takes care of it.

You don't walk past a piece of trash because someone else normally cleans it. You don't wait for a manager to tell you a light is burned out. You don't wait until the break room runs out of supplies before ordering more.

You take ownership.

You should be:

• Dependable and punctual

• Self-motivated and able to work independently

• Mechanically inclined

• Experienced with general maintenance and repairs

• Comfortable with basic plumbing, electrical, painting, and carpentry

• Willing to perform cleaning duties when needed

• Organized and able to manage multiple facilities

• Comfortable working around customers and dealership employees

• Able to communicate professionally with vendors and contractors

• Able to recognize when a job requires a licensed professional

• Physically capable of standing, walking, bending, lifting, carrying, and climbing ladders throughout the workday

Experience in commercial building maintenance, hotel maintenance, apartment maintenance, automotive dealerships, property maintenance, construction, or a similar hands-on role is preferred.

How We Measure Success

The goal is simple:

Our dealership managers should not have to manage the facility.

If you see a dirty restroom, you handle it.

If a light is out, you replace it.

If a faucet leaks, you address it.

If a wall needs paint, you paint it.

If the shop floor needs cleaning, you clean it.

If a customer area needs attention, you take care of it.

If a repair requires a professional contractor, you coordinate it and own the problem until it is resolved.

We don't expect one person to be a licensed plumber, electrician, HVAC technician, and contractor.

We do expect one person to take ownership of our facilities.
