Summary

“Bring the attitude. We’ll help build the skills.”

Junior Prepper/Painter/MET Technician

Byfleet | £30,000–£40,000 DOE | Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm

A great opportunity to join a small, friendly, manufacturer-approved dealer bodyshop in the Byfleet area.

The business currently has just two technical staff and is looking for a Prepper, Painter or MET Technician to join the team.

This role would suit someone with some existing experience in preparation, paint or MET work, but full bodyshop experience is not essential.

The client is particularly keen to find someone with a good attitude, some practical skills and a genuine willingness to learn. They are happy to train the right person and would ideally like to bring someone into the business who they can develop over time.

The Role

Working within a relaxed, supportive environment, you'll be involved in preparing and repairing vehicles, depending on your existing skillset and experience.

The bodyshop handles around 5–10 vehicles per week, so this is not a high-volume, pressure-driven environment.

The client is open-minded about your background and is happy to consider candidates with different combinations of relevant skills.

What We're Looking For

• Some experience or practical ability in prep, paint and/or MET

• A genuine interest in vehicle body repair

• A willingness to learn and develop

• Good attention to detail

• A reliable and hardworking attitude

• Someone who works well within a small team

• Bodyshop experience is not essential

What’s On Offer

• £30,000–£40,000 basic salary, depending on experience

• Overtime available

• Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm

• No weekend working

• Training and development available

• Manufacturer-approved bodyshop

• On-site parking

• Relaxed and friendly working environment

• Low-volume bodyshop handling around 5–10 cars per week

• Opportunity to develop your skills and build a long-term career

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to develop within a supportive bodyshop where the emphasis is on quality work, training and becoming a valued member of a small team.

If you have some relevant skills, a positive attitude and you're keen to learn, we'd love to hear from you.

Get in touch today for more information or to arrange a confidential conversation about the role.
