Job description
Potential for growth to full-time position
Program Background:
Miocar is an electric vehicle carsharing program providing affordable hourly and daily vehicle rentals. The organization started operating in 2019 in the San Joaquin Valley. We are growing a fleet across Central Valley, California with our main office located in Stockton, CA. The website for the program is www.miocar.org
Car sharing is similar to car rental except that car share members reserve and pay for car share vehicles by the hour or day on-demand, through a smartphone app. Members access vehicles from a nearby “hub” in their neighborhood. To join, individuals download Miocar carsharing app from google or apple play stores, complete an application including a motor vehicle record check. Once approved, members can make same-day reservations for a car share vehicle from their phone, computer or by telephone. Members use their car to run errands, get to medical appointments, grocery shopping, visit relatives, get to a job interview, and more.
Position Background:
This position has two main areas of responsibilities - member services and fleet maintenance. The member services responsibilities include at times being the first person to pick up the phone and greet a new member, and maintaining outstanding customer service and a professional image in everything from the new member orientations, member account management, appearance of the fleet and follow-up on member concerns. The fleet maintenance responsibilities for this position include checking on the vehicle fleet, cleaning vehicles in between reservations, making sure vehicles are running properly, and taking vehicles in for repairs and fluid changes. Depending on the day, week and month, Fleet & Member Services tasks and priorities will change. This is mostly due to patterns in inquiries, applications, and usage.
