Job Description

This dealership body shop in Rosslyn needs body repair skills that pass the insurer's quality check. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

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

The work, day to day

  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel
  • Repair dents with hammers, dollies and a stud welder
  • Mask up vehicles properly to keep overspray off glass and trim
  • Pull and straighten chassis damage on a measuring jig
  • Spray base coat and 2K clear coat in the booth

What you need

  • Able to work to insurer repair times and quality standards
  • Physically able to stand, bend and kneel for long periods
  • A portfolio or references from previous body shops
  • Knowledge of spray booth safety and respirator use
  • Panel beating or spray painting trade test, or at least 4 years of proven work
  • Good colour vision and a steady hand

Nice if you have

  • ADAS camera and sensor recalibration after repairs
  • Aluminium and high-strength steel repair training
  • Measuring jig and electronic measuring experience

What you get

  • Paint supplier training courses
  • Productivity bonus per completed job
  • Full respirator and spray suit supplied

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: trade certificate or references plus before-and-after photos of your repairs.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  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 Rosslyn.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
