Job Description

Straight panels, perfect colour match: that is the job at this insurance-approved accident repair centre in Richards Bay. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Mask up vehicles properly to keep overspray off glass and trim
  • Mix paint colours with a spectrophotometer and the mixing scheme
  • Apply filler, sand and prime to a smooth, ready surface
  • Fit new panels using spot welding and bonding methods
  • Repair dents with hammers, dollies and a stud welder

You'll need

  • Able to work to insurer repair times and quality standards
  • Good colour vision and a steady hand
  • Experience with modern waterborne or high-solids paint systems
  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use

Nice if you have

  • Experience as a workshop controller in a body shop
  • Aluminium and high-strength steel repair training

What's in it for you

  • Paint supplier training courses
  • Productivity bonus per completed job
  • Clean, modern booth and prep area

How to apply for this job

  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: trade certificate or references plus before-and-after photos of your repairs.

  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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.

How to stand out

  • Expect a practical test panel. Arrive early so you can see the booth and equipment first.
  • Say which paint systems you have used, like waterborne base coat with a 2K clear. Body shops care about this.
