Our client, one of the UK’s largest comprehensive automotive accident repairers, is currently looking to recruit a Vehicle MET/Strip Fit Technician to join their busy centre in North Bristol. 
  • Salary: Starting salary up to £22-23 per hour, pending experience, with access to a weekly generous uncapped time-saving bonus scheme; you will be paid an additional £12 per hour once 75% efficiency has been reached.
  • Hours: 40-hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility on your shift patterns. 
  • Benefits: Fantastic long-term career prospects with one of the UK’s largest comprehensive automotive accident repairers.

  • Checking for additional damage and any additional parts that may be required, bringing these items to the attention of the Vehicle Damage Assessor and ordering the additional parts.
  • Checking that all the parts are here and are correct to enable smooth travel through the vehicle repair journey.
  • Once the vehicle has been repaired and painted, you then refit the vehicle, taking care and attention not to damage freshly painted panels and ensuring panel gaps are true and within the manufacturer's tolerances.
