Night-Shift Vehicle Body Repair Technician - Bridgend
  • Salary: Negotiable pending experience, including a performance-related bonus scheme and a night-shift allowance. 
  • Hours: Guaranteed 4-day week from 6:00pm-6:00am Monday to Thursday.
  • Benefits: Enhanced holiday allowance, further training/development, and a modern, well-equipped working environment, amongst others. 
Our client, a large automotive accident repair centre situated in Bridgend, is currently looking to hire an experienced and professional Vehicle Body Repair Technician to join their express night-shift team!

Reporting to the Bodyshop Manager, you shall be carrying out body repair work on customers’ vehicles to a high-quality standard.

Your responsibilities shall include:
  • Remove damaged vehicle panels/parts for repair.
  • Smooth out minor dents in vehicle panels/parts.
  • Fill small holes or rusted areas with resin, body solder and other compound fillers.
  • Fit new panels where significant damage means the panel cannot be repaired.
  • Refinishing the surfaces of repaired panels/parts.
  • Remove old paintwork, sealant and rust.
  • Cleaning the repair area and masking off other parts of the vehicle to be left alone.
  • Match the colour, and then prime and paint spray the repair area.
  • Seal and wax the repair area.
  • Mechanical and Electrical Trim (MET).
  • Strip and fit body parts.
To be eligible, you will need to live within a reasonable commuting distance of Bridgend and have a UK driving license with minimal points. A relevant IMI/NVQ qualification in Vehicle Body Repair would be highly advantageous; however, our client is open to considering Body Repair Technicians with no formal qualifications but a strong and steady level of practical experience in vehicle body repair across MET, panel, and paint disciplines. Overall, you will need to be able to work independently, completing full repairs to a high standard, deliver excellent workmanship with strong attention to detail, and thrive in a fast-paced, team-focused workshop environment. Relevant qualifications/accreditations (ATA/NVQ) would be desirable but are not essential.

What's in it for you? For your hard work as a Vehicle Body Repair Technician, our client is offering:
  • Starting salary negotiable pending experience, including a performance-related bonus scheme and a night-shift allowance. 
  • Overtime, subject to availability, paid at standard rate.
