Job Description:

Panel Beater / Panel Technician

Coalville, Leicestershire
Up to £39,000 + bonus + seriously good benefits

I’m working with a huge automotive business who are continuing to grow their brand-new, state-of-the-art refurbishment centre in Coalville and they’re now looking for an experienced Panel Beater / Panel Technician to join the team permanently.

This is not one of those workshops where you’re stood around waiting for work to come in. This is a busy, high-volume environment with a constant flow of vehicles, modern equipment, and proper investment into the site and people.

If you enjoy getting stuck into repairs, take pride in quality, and like working with decent kit instead of fighting against outdated tools and processes, this could be a really solid move.

The role

You’ll be responsible for:

• Repairing damaged panels to a high standard
• Panel prep and priming ready for paint
• Dent removal and panel straightening
• Using modern repair techniques and equipment
• Delivering right-first-time repairs

This is all about quality and consistency. They want people who genuinely care about the finish and take pride in sending vehicles back out looking right.

What they’re looking for

You’ll need:

• Panel repair / accident repair experience
• Panel prep and priming experience
• A full UK manual driving licence

Bonus points if you’ve used dent pulling equipment, but it’s not essential.

Most importantly, they want someone who enjoys working in a team, has a strong work ethic, and takes pride in doing the job properly.

Hours

• 45 hours per week
• 9-hour shifts between 06:30 – 18:00
• Shift pattern discussed at interview

What’s on offer

The benefits package on this is genuinely strong:

• Up to £39,000 salary
• Up to 15% bonus
• 15% pension contribution
• 28 days holiday + option to buy/sell days
• Private medical insurance
• Electric/hybrid car scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Life assurance
• Health & wellbeing support apps
• Volunteer day allowance
• Gym discounts & retail discounts
• Free snacks and fresh fruit onsite
• Enhanced family leave policies
