Body Shop Technician

About the Role
We are a high-volume custom garage looking for a skilled Body Shop Technician to join our team. This isn’t your average body shop—you’ll be splitting your time between meticulous classic restorations, modern custom builds, and standard insurance-based collision repair. If you take pride in flawless metalwork and seamless finishes, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Restoration & Custom Work: Perform high-quality bodywork on vintage and custom projects, including panel fitment, metal straightening, and filler work.
  • Collision Repair: Execute teardowns, structural repairs, and reassembly for insurance claims to industry standards.
  • Adaptability: Efficiently pivot between long-term restoration projects and fast-turnaround insurance jobs as priorities shift.
  • Workflow Management: Maintain high output to stay ahead of a busy shop backlog without sacrificing quality.

What You Bring to the Table

  • Experience: Prefer a minimum of 1-2 years of professional experience in a body shop environment. Relevant education may substitute for 1 year of experience with references.
  • Tools: You must possess your own basic set of professional-grade tools.
  • Quality & Speed: The ability to produce "show-quality" results while maintaining a pace that keeps the shop moving.
  • Team Mindset: A positive, ego-free attitude. We win as a team, and helping a coworker finish a job is part of the culture.
  • Versatility: You’re comfortable jumping from a 1960s muscle car to a 2024 daily driver at a moment's notice.

Why Work With Us?
We offer a fast-paced, creative environment where you won’t get bored doing the same bumper swap every day. You’ll have the chance to work on unique builds and see your craftsmanship on the road for years to come.
