Join One of the Few Shops That Still Do It Right

We are seeking a highly skilled Air-Cooled Master Porsche Technician / Mechanic to join our elite team specializing in classic Porsche restoration, maintenance, and performance tuning. If you're a technician or mechanic with hands-on experience working on vintage Porsche 356s, long-hood 911s, G-Body Carreras, 964s, and other air-cooled legends — this is your chance to do what you love in a shop that truly respects the craft.

✅ Technician / Mechanic Responsibilities:

• Perform full mechanical restoration and service on vintage, air-cooled Porsche models

• Complete concours-level upgrades, maintenance, and performance modifications
• Collaborate with fellow technicians, mechanics, and the restoration team to plan and execute builds
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional technician workspace
• Uphold the highest standard of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and mechanical excellence

🔧 Technician / Mechanic Qualifications:

• Minimum of 5 years of hands-on air-cooled Porsche technician or mechanic experience
• Deep mechanical knowledge of Porsche air-cooled engines, suspensions, and chassis systems
• Proven experience rebuilding engines and transmissions (full builds a major plus)
• Real-world diagnostic skills — more than just reading manuals
• Strong sense of pride in your work as a technician or mechanic, with attention to historical accuracy and quality
• Ability to work independently and as part of a tight-knit team of like-minded professionals
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record

💰 What We Offer Technicians and Mechanics:

• Top-tier pay based on technician skill level and experience
• Opportunity to work on some of the most iconic and rare Porsche builds in the country
• A fully equipped, climate-controlled mechanic’s shop with high-end tools and equipment
• Health insurance, paid time off, and holidays
• Relocation assistance for the right technician
• A respectful, passionate culture built around real mechanics and the love of air-cooled Porsches

🚘 Why This Shop is Different:

We are a technician-first, detail-driven shop that treats every classic Porsche like the work of art it is. You'll be part of a team of master mechanics who share your passion and speak your language. No shortcuts. No drama. Just craftsmanship.
