About the Role

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Panel Beater to join the team at our bodyworks. This is one of three key roles we are looking to fill as we build a small, consistent, and highly skilled team. We are also recruiting for an MET Technician and a Painter to work alongside you.

All candidates must be experienced. You will be responsible for carrying out high-quality panel beating and vehicle body repairs to a factory-standard finish in our Beckton workshop. This is a full-time role, working Monday to Friday.

About the Team

We are looking to form a cohesive unit of three experienced professionals:

• Panel Beater (this role)
• MET Technician (Mechanical, Electrical, and Trim)
• Painter

We believe a stable, consistent team working together daily is the best way to deliver exceptional quality and efficiency for our customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Repair and replace damaged body panels and chassis components to manufacturer specifications.
• Use a variety of hand tools, welding equipment, and jigs to accurately align and reshape vehicle bodies.
• Interpret technical data and repair methods to ensure structural integrity and safety.
• Work closely with the MET Technician and Painter to ensure a smooth workflow through the repair process.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized workspace, adhering to all health and safety regulations.

About You

This role is ideal for an experienced and meticulous Panel Beater who takes pride in their craftsmanship. You will have a strong technical understanding of vehicle construction and modern repair techniques.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Proven, extensive experience as a Panel Beater within the accident repair industry. All candidates must be experienced.
• A recognized qualification in vehicle body repair (e.g., NVQ, City & Guilds, or ATA accreditation) is highly desirable.
• The ability to work accurately and efficiently to meet deadlines without compromising on quality.
• Strong teamwork skills, with the willingness to collaborate closely with the MET Technician and Painter.
• Own transport is desirable due to our location in Beckton.

Visa Sponsorship Information

We hold a licence to sponsor Skilled Worker visas. However, our preference is to find candidates who are already in the UK, such as former students who have relevant UK-based or international bodyshop experience.

It is essential that candidates are already in the UK so they can attend our Beckton workshop and complete a paid practical trial. We believe this is the fairest and most accurate way to assess the high standard of work we require, rather than relying on remote assessments or video demonstrations.

• Hours: This is a full-time role based on 40 paid hours per week.
• Schedule: Working Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.
