Equipment Operator / Auction Operations Specialist
Join Our Growing Team
Do you enjoy working with equipment, tools, vehicles, and unique items? Are you someone who likes staying busy, solving problems, and learning new skills?
Mayo Auction & Realty is looking for a motivated Equipment Operator / Auction Operations Specialist to join our team. This is a hands-on position for someone who wants more than just a job — someone who wants to become a key part of a growing auction operation.
Your primary focus will be operating equipment, organizing inventory, and helping prepare items for auction. As you learn our process, you will also gain experience in auction cataloging, photography, inventory management, and the behind-the-scenes operations that make our auctions successful.
Every day is different. One day you may be moving equipment and unloading trailers, the next you may be photographing a rare collectible or helping prepare a large estate auction. If you like variety and working with your hands, this could be the right fit.
