We're looking to hire a body technician that will lead a small team to perform all the work necessary to prepare and complete a concourse paint job. This individual will not need to know how to apply the final paint/clear, but must be an expert in the entire preparation process including dismantling, stripping, metal work -fabrication - rust repair - welding, panel fit, body work and perfect panels that are straight/true and scratch free for years to come.
The individual musts be able to lead the team to efficiently prepare multiple cars in work at one time and ensuring that the jobs are performed with the highest quality at a fair value.
Paint skills would be desirable but not required. Note this is a working manager position where you will be expected to bill at least 6 hours a day while managing the Body Shop Team.
The Team currently includes 4 body persons all of which are hard working, skilled, and versatile.
The ideal individual will possess: 1) strong technical skills and relevant experience in restoration, rust repair, fabrication, and body work, 2) strong work ethic and an interest in doing all aspects of cosmetic restoration, 3) good people skills and an ability to speak well with customers (a good person), 4) a strong ethical base, 5) estimating collision and restoration work, and 6) the ability to organize, plan, and lead the team to prepare multiple cars at one time over a long period of time ensuring that are performed efficiently at a fair value.
