I'm German, I don't need a dictionary for that. We make them up on the fly. For example, Autowaschanlagenführer or Türöffnungsmechanismuswartung

I remember a little German from it being mandatory in school here in Denmark where we also like compound nouns so imma give it a shot:

"Car wash hose boss" and "door opening mechanism maintenance"?

"door opening mechanism maintenance"

Yes

"Car wash hose boss"

Almost. „Car wash operator“ it is.

If I worked in a car wash I would demand to be called a hose boss
