Panel Beater (Quality-Focused Bodyshop – No Bonus Pressure)
We’re working with a well-established, forward-thinking bodyshop that does things properly.
This is not a high-volume, insurance-driven environment. The focus here is simple:
Do the job right, first time.
If you take pride in your work and prefer quality over rushing jobs through for bonus targets, this will suit you.

The Role
• Panel repairs on a range of modern vehicles, including hybrid and EV
• Work on both cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs)
• Around 15 jobs per week across the workshop — no unrealistic workloads
• Focus on accuracy, finish, and customer satisfaction
________________________________________
What’s Different Here
• ❌ No bonus schemes or pressure to rush jobs
• ✅ Fixed salary — consistent earnings
• ✅ Real emphasis on workmanship and standards
• ✅ Supportive, well-equipped workshop
________________________________________
What You’ll Get
• £36,000 – £42,000 (depending on experience & qualifications)
• 38-hour week (Monday–Friday)
• Flexible start/finish options (typically between 7:30am – 5:30pm)
• No weekends
• 30 days holiday including bank holidays
• Christmas shutdown (approx. 10 days off using only 4 holiday days)
• Quarterly company-paid social events
• Full PPE and ongoing training provided
________________________________________
The Workshop
• Modern facility working mainly on newer vehicles
• Significant investment planned over the next 12 months
• Long-term stability with a renewed lease in place
• Fully equipped with all required tools, ramps, and machinery
________________________________________
Who This Suits
• A panel beater who values quality over speed
• Someone confident working on modern vehicles, including EV/hybrid
• A technician who wants a stable, no-pressure environment
• Team players who take pride in their finish
