Job Description

This independent panel shop in Cape Town CBD needs body repair skills that pass the insurer's quality check. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Cape Town CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Mix paint colours with a spectrophotometer and the mixing scheme
  • Spray base coat and 2K clear coat in the booth
  • Strip damaged panels, bumpers and trims and bag the fixings
  • Photograph repair stages for the insurance assessor
  • Pull and straighten chassis damage on a measuring jig
  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel

Must-haves

  • Experience with modern waterborne or high-solids paint systems
  • Able to work to insurer repair times and quality standards
  • A portfolio or references from previous body shops
  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use
  • Physically able to stand, bend and kneel for long periods

What's in it for you

  • Full respirator and spray suit supplied
  • Productivity bonus per completed job
  • Paint supplier training courses
  • Clean, modern booth and prep area

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: before-and-after photos of your repairs, ID copy certified at a police station plus trade certificate or references.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.
