Job Description

This dealership body shop in Bloemfontein needs body repair skills that pass the insurer's quality check. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Bloemfontein-based, with most of your time spent at a dealership body shop. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Mask up vehicles properly to keep overspray off glass and trim
  • Pull and straighten chassis damage on a measuring jig
  • Apply filler, sand and prime to a smooth, ready surface
  • Photograph repair stages for the insurance assessor
  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel

What you need

  • Physically able to stand, bend and kneel for long periods
  • Good colour vision and a steady hand
  • Panel beating or spray painting trade test, or at least 4 years of proven work
  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use

Nice if you have

  • ADAS camera and sensor recalibration after repairs
  • Aluminium and high-strength steel repair training

What you get

  • Paint supplier training courses
  • Clean, modern booth and prep area
  • Full respirator and spray suit supplied

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): trade certificate or references plus before-and-after photos of your repairs.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Bloemfontein.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Before-and-after photos are your best proof. Keep them on your phone, ready to show at the interview.
  • Say which paint systems you have used, like waterborne base coat with a 2K clear. Body shops care about this.
