On-Call Floating Shift Leader

Leadership Development | High Pay | Flexible On-Call Role | Multi-Location Support

Waves Express Car Wash—voted Best of South Carolina and Best of the Upstate—is seeking a dependable, adaptable On-Call Floating Shift Leader to support multiple locations across the Upstate.

This is not a traditional set-schedule position.

We are looking for a flexible, reliable leader who can step in to cover shifts at various locations when business demands spike or when emergency coverage is needed—sometimes with short notice.

Because of the flexibility and responsibility required, this position offers premium hourly pay ($18–$22/hr).

As a Floating Manager-in-Training, you will:

• Travel between locations as needed to provide management coverage
• Step into leadership roles during busy or short-staffed shifts
• Lead teams confidently and maintain operational standards
• Deliver exceptional customer service and drive Wash Club sales
• Manage opening/closing procedures
• Oversee cleanliness, inventory, and minor maintenance
• Jump in hands-on to keep operations running smoothly
• Represent company culture and leadership standards at every site

This role requires independence, maturity, and strong decision-making skills.

• A former manager who wants flexibility without a fixed schedule
• A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments
• A highly dependable leader with wide-open availability

• Prior leadership, supervisory, or management experience required
• Ability to work a highly flexible and unpredictable schedule
• Willingness to travel between locations in the Upstate
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable working outdoors and on your feet
• Weekend availability required

Retail, restaurant, automotive, or car wash leadership experience is strongly preferred.

• Premium Pay: $18–$22 per hour
• Exposure to multi-location leadership experience
• Direct development under senior management
• Growth pathway into full-time salaried management roles
• Free weekly car washes & team perks
• Work with an award-winning, fast-growing organization

If you’re dependable, adaptable, and confident stepping into leadership at a moment’s notice, we want to meet you.
