Automotive and Watercraft Service Attendants
Career Snapshot
The duties of a service station attendant varies depending on the services provided by the station. Attendants in many locations spend the majority of their time in a booth, activating fuel pumps for self-service clients, collecting money, and issuing change.
Some aspects of the work are similar to those of a convenience store clerk because many stations sell drinks, brad, magazines, and other products. Job responsibilities are more diversified at more typical service stations. Attendants provide more hands-on 'full services,' such as pumping gas, inspecting the engine, and checking tyre pressure.
Customers may also be sold oil, wiper blades, and other vehicle products. They can persuade visitors to return by offering timely, cheerful service. They may also aid in the prevention of accidents by detecting if a customer's tyres are low or if a headlight is out.
Work timings are typically flexible, making this an excellent part-time or after-school work. So, if you like automobiles, enjoy talking with people, and don't mind working in all weather conditions, this is a terrific entry-level job that might lead to owning or managing a small gas station or a large, busy full-service station someday.
