Job Description
Welcome
I'm Derek, the owner of Pacific Coast Auto. We are a medium sized used car export company based in Yokohama. I moved from Canada to Japan in 2006 to start an export company with an emphasis on honest business practices and value for the customers. We have been growing steadily in the 12 years we have been in business.
We work with auctions around Japan to purchase and export vehicles. Our customers are individual buyers and larger car dealerships. We like what we do and are looking for fellow car enthusiasts.
We are looking for an outstanding person to join at an entry level with room for expansion. It's important to find someone that also loves cars and wants to work in the industry but more than anything, we want someone with the right personality to fit with our excellent team. This should be someone that enjoys working for a smaller company that is dynamic and growing quickly.
