Automotive Reconditioning & Quality Control Specialist
Carrigan Auto Group – Manchester, NH
$17.50–$20.00 per hour | Full-Time / Part time | Monday–Friday | NO WEEKENDS
Make Every Vehicle — and Our Facility — Ready With Pride
At Carrigan Auto Group, the job isn't finished when the technician puts down the tools.
Every repaired vehicle needs to leave our shop clean, presentable, checked over, and ready for the customer. Our facility should be held to that same standard.
We're looking for an Automotive Reconditioning & Quality Control Specialist to join our Manchester team supporting Precision Imports and Precision Autoworks.
A major part of this position is washing and vacuuming customer vehicles after service. You will be responsible for making sure completed vehicles don't go back to customers covered in road grime, shop dust, footprints, or debris.
This position will also help maintain the cleanliness and appearance of our offices, customer areas, bathrooms, and common areas. We want our entire facility to reflect the same level of care we expect in our work.
You'll also serve as the final set of eyes on completed vehicles, helping us catch anything that may have been overlooked before the keys are handed back.
If you take pride in making vehicles and workspaces look good, notice the little things other people miss, and enjoy staying busy, this could be a great fit.
What You'll DoVehicle Washing & Cleaning — A Major Part of the Job
A significant portion of your day will be spent preparing completed vehicles for customer delivery.
You'll:
- Wash customer vehicles after repairs and service
- Vacuum vehicle interiors before delivery
- Clean dirt, dust, fingerprints, footprints, and normal shop-related mess
- Make sure windows, mirrors, wheels, and exterior surfaces are presentable
- Clean door openings and other areas as needed
- Make sure floor mats and interior areas are clean and properly positioned
- Keep the wash bay clean, stocked, and organized
- Work through completed vehicles efficiently so cars are ready before the customer arrives
We want customers to open the door to their repaired vehicle and immediately feel like we took care of it.
Facility, Office & Bathroom Cleaning
This isn't only a vehicle-cleaning position.
You'll also help make sure our Manchester facilities stay clean, professional, and presentable for customers and employees.
Responsibilities will include:
- Cleaning and maintaining customer and employee bathrooms
- Vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping office and common areas
- Emptying trash and replacing liners
- Cleaning counters, tables, doors, glass, and other frequently touched surfaces
- Keeping customer waiting areas clean and organized
- Keeping offices and shared spaces presentable
- Restocking bathroom and cleaning supplies as needed
- Helping keep entrances, walkways, parking areas, and other customer-facing areas clean
- Identifying cleaning or maintenance issues before they become a problem
We're an automotive repair business. Things get dirty.
Part of this job is seeing that dirt and taking care of it without needing someone to point at it first.
Final Vehicle Quality Control
After the vehicle is repaired and cleaned, you'll help perform the final check before delivery.
Responsibilities include:
- Review the repair order and verify listed work appears to have been completed
- Check for warning lights or obvious concerns
- Look for fluid leaks or loose components
- Verify underbody shields and splash panels are installed correctly
- Check engine covers and other removed components
- Verify wheel center caps and valve stem caps are installed
- Check tire pressures and fluid levels as directed
- Road test vehicles when requested
- Bring anything questionable to the attention of the technician, foreman, or advisor before the customer sees it
You are not expected to diagnose complicated automotive problems.
You are expected to pay attention.
Vehicle Delivery & Shop Support
You'll also help keep the operation moving throughout the day by:
- Staging completed vehicles for customer pickup
- Moving vehicles throughout the facility
- Helping technicians with vehicle movement
- Retrieving parts when needed
- Providing customer shuttle rides when needed
- Keeping the parking lot and delivery areas organized
- Helping maintain a clean and professional shop
- Assisting wherever needed to keep technicians productive and vehicles moving
This Is a Hands-On Position
We want to be completely clear about what this job is.
You will wash cars.
You will vacuum cars.
You will clean bathrooms.
You will clean offices and common areas.
You will be outside and in the wash bay.
You will move vehicles throughout the day.
And you'll play an important role in making sure our vehicles and our facility represent the level of professionalism we expect from Carrigan Auto Group.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working around vehicles and wants more responsibility than a traditional detail, janitorial, or lot position.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who:
- Takes pride in clean, finished work
- Has excellent attention to detail
- Sees something that needs to be cleaned or handled and takes care of it
- Doesn't need someone constantly telling them what to do next
- Is comfortable washing and vacuuming multiple vehicles throughout the day
- Is comfortable cleaning bathrooms, offices, and common areas
- Works efficiently without sacrificing quality
- Notices when something doesn't look right
- Is willing to jump in and help wherever needed
- Can work in a fast-paced automotive environment
- Can safely operate cars, SUVs, vans, and light trucks
- Can drive both automatic and manual transmission vehicles
- Has a valid driver's license and acceptable driving record
Previous detailing, recon, dealership, repair shop, facilities, or automotive experience is a plus, but we're willing to train someone with the right attitude and work ethic.

Quality Specialist Jobs in New Hampshire: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality specialist in New Hampshire?
Most quality specialist roles in New Hampshire require a bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing technology, or a related discipline, though associates-degree holders with strong shop-floor experience do get hired into inspection roles. New Hampshire has no state-issued license specific to quality specialists, so the most recognized credential is ASQ certification such as the Certified Quality Technician or Certified Quality Engineer. Employers in the state's defense and medical device sectors weigh ASQ credentials heavily when comparing candidates.
Which companies hire quality specialists in New Hampshire?
Companies currently hiring quality specialists in New Hampshire include Lonza, Smiths, and Dartmouth Health, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New Hampshire's concentration of precision manufacturers, defense contractors, and hospital systems means quality roles appear across a broad range of employer types and sizes throughout the state.
Which New Hampshire cities have the most quality specialist jobs?
The cities with the most quality specialist openings in New Hampshire are Portsmouth, Bedford, and Laconia. Manchester and Nashua anchor the southern tier where the state's densest cluster of advanced manufacturers and defense suppliers operates, while Portsmouth and the Seacoast corridor draw openings tied to BAE Systems and the region's growing life sciences presence.
Are there remote quality specialist jobs in New Hampshire?
Yes, but they're rare. Quality specialist work is largely hands-on, involving physical audits, inspection floor oversight, and supplier site visits that require in-person presence. About 40% of quality specialist openings tied to New Hampshire are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in supplier quality management, quality systems documentation, and regulatory compliance writing rather than direct inspection roles.
How can I get hired as a quality specialist in New Hampshire with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a quality technician or incoming inspection role at one of New Hampshire's manufacturers, where you work under a certified quality engineer and build measurable experience with gauging and documentation. BAE Systems and larger Nashua-area manufacturers run structured early-career programs that hire candidates straight from technical programs at institutions like Manchester Community College or SNHU. Earning the ASQ Certified Quality Technician credential before applying gives a clear edge over candidates with identical experience, and transitioning from a production operator or machinist role is a common lateral move that hiring managers in the state recognize.
Where can I find and apply to quality specialist jobs in New Hampshire?
You can find and apply to quality specialist jobs in New Hampshire on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the listings, find roles that match your background and target location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
