Job Description

You'll bring accident-damaged cars back to factory standard at the fleet repair centre in Roodepoort. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work, day to day

  • Repair dents with hammers, dollies and a stud welder
  • Apply filler, sand and prime to a smooth, ready surface
  • Mix paint colours with a spectrophotometer and the mixing scheme

  • Mask up vehicles properly to keep overspray off glass and trim

  • 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
  • Panel beating or spray painting trade test, or at least 4 years of proven work

Nice if you have

  • ADAS camera and sensor recalibration after repairs
  • Experience as a workshop controller in a body shop

What you get

  • Productivity bonus per completed job
  • Paint supplier training courses
