About this role
Carvana's Inspection Center in Elyria is hiring a Quality Lead to supervise the body shop operation on second shift (Monday–Thursday, 4pm–3am). You'd manage a team of hourly associates responsible for inspecting, repairing, and quality-checking incoming vehicles. The role balances production targets with quality standards—you'll oversee the movement of cars through the facility, approve or reject work based on repair costs and vehicle condition, and ensure your team completes repairs correctly the first time to avoid delays and rework.
This is a hands-on supervisory position that requires both leadership and technical knowledge. You'll need demonstrated experience in vehicle reconditioning processes and an understanding of lean principles, along with the ability to train associates on quality control standards. Beyond managing people and performance, you'll be actively involved in the work itself—identifying defects, completing repairs, and maintaining the shop environment safely. The job demands physical stamina (standing for long periods, lifting up to 60 pounds, working in variable conditions) and comfort working in a fast-paced, sometimes noisy or wet environment with fumes and odors.
To qualify, you'll need a high school diploma or GED, a valid driver's license with a clean record, computer skills, and the ability to multitask under pressure. This role is not visa eligible and requires U.S. work authorization. Be prepared for potential overtime and weekend work as needed.
