Vehicle Detailer – Tesla – Calgary, AB

Tesla is looking for a Vehicle Detailer to join its team in Calgary, Alberta. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role at the heart of Tesla’s delivery operations — the person in this position ensures every vehicle is immaculate and ready the moment it reaches the customer’s hands.

Day to day, you’ll be working across vehicle preparation, pre-delivery inspections, and lot management, all while coordinating with logistics teams to keep things moving efficiently. If you take pride in your work and like staying active on the job, this role offers a solid mix of responsibility and variety.

About the Role: Vehicle Detailer

As a Vehicle Detailer at Tesla, your primary focus is making sure every customer vehicle meets Tesla’s high preparation standards before it leaves the lot. You’ll operate professional detailing equipment — buffers, vacuums, hoses — and work systematically through a checklist of tasks that keep vehicles in top condition. Beyond the cleaning itself, you’ll also be involved in managing vehicle arrivals, charging vehicles, and safely moving inventory across multiple locations.

This role demands solid organizational skills and the ability to prioritize effectively under time pressure. You’ll work closely with both internal teams and third-party logistics providers, making communication and collaboration essential to daily success. A proactive attitude and proven work ethic are what set strong performers apart here.

Benefits and Salary

Tesla offers a competitive hourly wage of $18.48 – $33.66, plus cash and stock awards. As a full-time employee, you’re eligible for benefits from day one of hire, including company-paid Health, Dental, Vision, Life, and Disability insurance, an RRSP with employer match, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, parental success programs, an Employee Assistance Program, sick and vacation time, paid holidays, the Tesla Babies program, and access to Tesla product discounts and a perks programme.

Responsibilities

Working as part of Tesla’s delivery team in Calgary, the Vehicle Detailer is responsible for a broad range of preparation and logistics tasks.

• Clean vehicles to Tesla’s standards prior to customer delivery, ensuring a consistently excellent presentation
• Operate detailing equipment including buffers, hoses, and vacuums to perform thorough, professional cleaning
• Manage vehicle inventory across multiple lot locations, including safely moving and charging vehicles as part of the pre-delivery workflow
• Coordinate logistics with internal teams and third-party providers to keep deliveries on schedule
