Job Description

Got an eye for a smooth finish? The truck body repair workshop in Bellville wants your skills in the booth or on the jig. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

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

The work, day to day

  • Photograph repair stages for the insurance assessor
  • Cut and polish to remove dust marks and orange peel
  • Strip damaged panels, bumpers and trims and bag the fixings
  • Spray base coat and 2K clear coat in the booth
  • Fit new panels using spot welding and bonding methods
  • Apply filler, sand and prime to a smooth, ready surface
  • Mix paint colours with a spectrophotometer and the mixing scheme

What you 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
  • Able to work to insurer repair times and quality standards

Helpful, not essential

  • Measuring jig and electronic measuring experience
  • Aluminium and high-strength steel repair training

On offer

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

  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy certified at a police station, trade certificate or references plus before-and-after photos of your repairs.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.
