Our client, one of the UK’s largest comprehensive automotive accident repairers, is currently looking to recruit a Multi-Skilled Vehicle Body Repair Technician to join their busy centre in Gloucester.

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

  • Match the colour, and then prime and paint spray the repair area.
