Job Description

Straight panels, perfect colour match: that is the job at this dealership body shop in Vanderbijlpark. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Vanderbijlpark (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

The work, day to day

  • Mask up vehicles properly to keep overspray off glass and trim
  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel
  • Strip damaged panels, bumpers and trims and bag the fixings
  • Pull and straighten chassis damage on a measuring jig
  • Spray base coat and 2K clear coat in the booth
  • Photograph repair stages for the insurance assessor

What you need

  • Able to work to insurer repair times and quality standards
  • Experience with modern waterborne or high-solids paint systems
  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use
  • Physically able to stand, bend and kneel for long periods
  • Good colour vision and a steady hand

Helpful, not essential

  • Aluminium and high-strength steel repair training
  • Experience as a workshop controller in a body shop
  • ADAS camera and sensor recalibration after repairs

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): trade certificate or references plus ID copy certified at a police station.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.
