• Conroe, TX $22
• 28/hour | Full-Time | Monday-Friday | No Saturdays Sovereign Off-Road is looking for a sharp, organized, mechanically knowledgeable Parts Manager to take ownership of our entire parts department.

This is not simply an order-entry position. Our service department has a lot of moving pieces every day. Technicians need parts identified and ordered, repair orders need accurate quotes, incoming parts need to immediately make it to the right job, inventory needs to stay organized, and customers need parts sourced and quoted. Your job is to own that entire process and keep parts from ever becoming the reason our shop slows down. What You'll Own Identify and source parts needed by our technicians Review repair orders and technician findings throughout the day Build accurate parts quotes for service jobs Order approved parts quickly and accurately Verify fitment before ordering to minimize wrong parts Research OEM and aftermarket options Compare vendors, pricing, and availability when appropriate Find alternative sources when parts are unavailable or overpriced Track outstanding orders, backorders, and expected arrival dates Proactively follow up on delayed parts Receive and verify incoming shipments Match every received part to the correct repair order, customer, or inventory location Maintain an organized parts room with clearly identified inventory Maintain appropriate stock levels for commonly used parts Perform inventory counts and help maintain accurate inventory records Handle returns, incorrect parts, damaged shipments, and warranty-related parts Quote and sell parts directly to customers Assist customers in identifying the correct parts for their machines Maintain accurate parts pricing and information within our service software Communicate parts status clearly with technicians and the Service Advisor Keep the entire parts department clean, organized, and accountable If someone in our dealership needs a part, you are the person responsible for making sure it gets handled. Who We're Looking For Previous professional parts-department experience is a major plus, but it is not required. What is required is mechanical aptitude, common sense, organization, computer skills, and the ability to figure things out.

You should be someone who:

Has a strong understanding of basic mechanical components and terminology Can understand parts diagrams and determine what components are actually needed Verifies fitment rather than blindly ordering a part number Is extremely organized Is quick and efficient on a computer Learns new software and systems quickly Can manage dozens of moving pieces without losing track of them Is resourceful when the obvious solution isn't the best one Shops pricing and availability when appropriate Understands the importance of both cost and turnaround time Notices problems before someone else has to point them out Takes ownership instead of making excuses Communicates well with technicians, coworkers, vendors, and customers Is honest when they don't know something and knows when to ask Takes responsibility when a mistake happens and fixes it Works hard without needing someone constantly checking behind them Powersports, automotive, equipment, dealership, mechanical, or professional parts experience is strongly preferred. Experience with Polaris, Can-Am, Honda, Kawasaki, or Yamaha is a major plus. What Success Looks Like At any point, you should be able to quickly answer: What parts does this job need? Have they been ordered? Where are they coming from? When will they arrive? And where are they once they get here?

Success means:

Technicians aren't waiting because a needed part was forgotten Wrong-part orders are kept to an absolute minimum Parts are ordered promptly once approved Backorders and delays are actively followed up on Received parts immediately get matched to the correct job Inventory is accurate and easy to locate Commonly needed parts are appropriately stocked Repair orders contain accurate parts and pricing Customers receive accurate parts quotes The Service Advisor and technicians don't have to chase the parts department to get answers Character Matters Here We care about who you are just as much as what you can do. Sovereign Off-Road is built around integrity, hard work, accountability, excellence, serving others, and treating people according to the Golden Rule. We want someone who can be trusted with purchasing authority, inventory, Company money, customers, and the needs of the entire service department.

Previous parts-department experience is preferred but not required. Briefly describe your mechanical knowledge and experience identifying mechanical components or using parts diagrams/catalogs. Tell us about a mistake you made at work that affected someone else. How did you handle it once you realized what happened? A machine is tying up shop space waiting on a part. Your normal supplier has it for $420 with a 10-day lead time. You find another reputable source for $475 that can have it here tomorrow. What would you do and why? Tell us about a time you disagreed with a supervisor or experienced coworker about how something should be handled. What did you do? You're extremely busy and realize you ordered the wrong part. Nobody else knows yet, and admitting it will probably delay the repair. What do you do? Why are you leaving—or why did you leave—your current or most recent employer?
