Job Description

Got an eye for a smooth finish? The fleet repair centre in Benoni wants your skills in the booth or on the jig. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

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

What your day looks like

  • Strip damaged panels, bumpers and trims and bag the fixings
  • Repair dents with hammers, dollies and a stud welder
  • Mix paint colours with a spectrophotometer and the mixing scheme
  • Spray base coat and 2K clear coat in the booth
  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel

You'll need

  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use
  • Experience with modern waterborne or high-solids paint systems
  • Good colour vision and a steady hand
  • Panel beating or spray painting trade test, or at least 4 years of proven work

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Benoni really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): before-and-after photos of your repairs 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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

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