Job Description

About the Role

Looking for a role where craftsmanship, pride in your work, and stability come together?

This is a hands-on, workshop-based role where you'll be building and repairing vehicle bodies to the highest standards - including new-builds, refurbs, and fitting of specialist components. Every build is different, with no production line monotony.

You'll be part of a skilled team in a fast-paced, high-quality environment, where safety, precision, and customer satisfaction are core values.



What You'll Be Doing

  • Building commercial vehicle bodies from start to finish

  • Carrying out repairs and retrofits to customer specifications

  • Fitting tail lifts, shutter doors, lashing rails, grab handles, flooring, and more

  • Reading and working from build sheets and technical drawings

  • Using hand tools, power tools, and mechanical equipment safely and effectively

  • Collaborating with other departments to ensure smooth workflow

  • Protecting customer vehicles and delivering clean, secure work

  • Ensuring compliance with safety, quality, and environmental standards

  • Maintaining accurate records of time, materials, and work carried out

  • Contributing ideas for improvements and mentoring junior team members



What We're Looking For

  • Experience in vehicle body building, coachwork, or commercial vehicle fitting

  • Confident with power tools, general fabrication, and working to technical drawings

  • A strong eye for detail, pride in your work, and a safe, methodical approach

  • Organised, reliable, and able to work independently and as part of a team

  • Willingness to share skills and support others in the workshop



Why Join?

This is not just a job - it's a long-term opportunity to join a growing team that values skilled hands, steady pace, and a good attitude. You'll enjoy real job security, straightforward working hours, and great support.

Up to 16.00 per hour, dependent on experience
