Our client, a national multi-site automotive accident repair group, is currently looking to recruit a Panel Beater to join their busy centre in Swindon.

Reporting to the Centre Manager and working as part of a friendly team, as a Panel Beater, your responsibilities will include: 
  • Undertake replacement and repair of damaged or compromised bodywork panels.
  • Complete chassis and framework repairs.
  • Accurately assess vehicle damage and apply appropriate methods to produce a high-quality repair.
  • Conduct bumper and door repair works as required.
  • Ensure all panel beating/repair works meet internal and third-party quality standards.
  • Work as part of a team to ensure centre operations run efficiently and safely.
  • Assisting with light MET work. 
In order to be eligible, you will need to have current or recent experience working as a Panel Beater.
