  • Carrying out full vehicle repaints, spot repairs, accident damage repairs, refurbishment, and restoration work.
  • Applying company liveries, decals, branding, and graphics to vehicles.
  • Mixing paints, coatings, and materials accurately to achieve required colour matches and high-quality finishes.
  • Inspecting completed work to ensure it meets company quality and presentation standards.
  • Maintaining spray booths, paint equipment, tools, and work areas in a clean, organised, and safe condition.
  • Following all COSHH, Health & Safety, environmental, and waste disposal procedures.
  • Working closely with engineers, body repair technicians, and workshop colleagues to minimise vehicle downtime.
  • Completing maintenance records, repair documentation, and job cards accurately.
  • Supporting depot initiatives relating to fleet presentation, refurbishment, and vehicle availability.
  • Undertaking basic fabrication and welding activities where required.
  • Using welding and fabrication skills to support vehicle repairs, modifications, and refurbishment projects.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience as a Vehicle Spray Painter.
  • Strong knowledge of vehicle paint preparation and application techniques.
  • Experience using spray-painting equipment and paint booth facilities.
  • Experience within Bus, HGV, coach, commercial vehicle, or automotive painting environments would be advantageous.
  • Knowledge of modern paint systems is desirable.
  • Experience of accident repair work, body preparation, and vehicle refurbishment would be beneficial.
  • Experience applying vehicle liveries, decals, and branding is advantageous.
  • Good understanding of Health & Safety requirements within a workshop environment, including COSHH regulations.
  • A PCV licence is advantageous, although support may be available for the right candidate to obtain one.
  • Full UK driving licence.

Comply with all company Health & Safety policies and procedures.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
