Our client, a large automotive accident repair centre based in the Cheltenham region, is currently looking to recruit an experienced and professional Vehicle MET/Strip Fit Technician to join their busy bodyshop

Reporting to management and working as part of a friendly team in modern custom-equipped facilities, your key responsibilities as a Vehicle MET/Strip Fit Technician will include:

A UK driving licence with minimal points is essential at this stage.
