Braun’s Fun Time Campers – Indianapolis, IN
Full-Time | Salaried Position | $40,000–$55,000+ Based on Experience

Braun’s Fun Time Campers is a family-owned RV dealership that has been serving Central Indiana since 1977. We’re looking for a dependable, organized, and customer-focused individual to join our team as our RV Parts Department Manager.

Previous RV experience is helpful, but it is not required. Experience in automotive, marine, powersports, equipment, or another parts-related industry is a plus. More importantly, we’re looking for someone who communicates well, enjoys helping customers, stays organized, and works well with technicians and fellow employees.

We are a smaller, family-owned dealership, so this is not a position where everyone stays strictly inside their own department. Our Parts Manager and Service Manager work closely together and help each other as needed. We believe in a healthy team environment where everyone is willing to step in and help with the ultimate goal of taking care of the customer.

What You’ll Do

As Parts Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day operation and organization of our RV Parts Department while working closely with our Service Manager and service technicians.

Responsibilities include:

Assist customers and service technicians with identifying, sourcing, and ordering RV parts and accessories
Manage special orders, incoming shipments, returns, warranty parts, and vendor communication
Maintain an organized, accurate, and well-stocked parts department and retail display area
Help manage inventory levels, pricing, purchasing, and department profitability in coordination with the Service Manager
Communicate with customers regarding parts availability, order status, and service-related needs
Work closely with technicians to ensure parts are available and repair jobs continue moving efficiently
Assist with service scheduling, repair orders, warranty administration, and customer communication when needed
Help cover Service Department responsibilities when the Service Manager is unavailable

Likewise, our Service Manager will assist with Parts Department responsibilities when needed. We operate as a team rather than separate departments.

Who We’re Looking For

The right person does not necessarily need previous management experience or RV experience. We are willing to train someone who has the right attitude and skills.

Our ideal candidate is:

Dependable – someone we and our customers can count on
Customer-focused – friendly, patient, and comfortable working directly with the public
Organized – capable of keeping track of multiple orders, customers, technicians, and priorities at the same time
Comfortable working with service technicians in a busy repair environment
Able to communicate clearly with customers, vendors, technicians, and coworkers
Comfortable using computers, online ordering systems, email, and basic business software
Mechanically inclined or comfortable learning about RV systems and components
Able to research and problem-solve when the correct part isn't immediately obvious
Willing to learn the RV industry
Able to work independently without needing constant supervision
Comfortable wearing multiple hats and helping wherever needed
Positive, professional, and team-oriented

Experience in RV, automotive, marine, powersports, equipment, hardware, or a related parts environment is helpful but not required.

Management experience is also helpful but is not required.

Our Parts Suppliers

Our Parts Department works with a variety of suppliers, including:

NTP-STAG
Meyer Distributing
RV manufacturers and OEM suppliers
Local and regional independent parts suppliers

Experience working with parts catalogs, distributors, manufacturers, or inventory systems is a plus, but we can train the right candidate.

Physical Requirements

This is an active position and is not primarily a desk job. The Parts Manager should be comfortable:

Being on their feet for much of the workday
Stocking and organizing shelves
Receiving and putting away shipments
Lifting and moving RV parts, batteries, and accessories
Using ladders to access inventory
Moving throughout the dealership and service department regularly

Schedule

Full-Time

Monday-Friday: 9:00 AM-5:00 PM
Saturday: 9:00 AM-1:00 PM

Compensation

Salary: $40,000–$55,000+ per year

Compensation will be based on experience, industry knowledge, and qualifications. Candidates with strong RV, automotive, marine, powersports, or related parts experience may qualify toward the upper end of the range or above.

Benefits

5 paid holidays
1 week paid vacation during year one
2 weeks paid vacation beginning in year two
3 paid personal/sick days annually
Paid RV/product training
Employee discounts

Why Braun’s Fun Time Campers?

We’re a family-owned RV dealership that has been serving customers since 1977. We believe good customer service starts with employees who communicate, work together, and take ownership of getting things done.

Because we are a smaller dealership, you won’t be just another employee in a large corporate operation. You’ll work directly with our Service Manager, technicians, sales staff, ownership, and customers.

We expect everyone to have their primary responsibilities, but we also believe in helping one another when things get busy. Parts helps Service, Service helps Parts, and everyone works toward the same objective: a satisfied customer who wants to do business with us again.

If you are dependable, organized, enjoy working with people, and are interested in joining a locally owned company where your contribution matters, we’d like to hear from you.
