Job Description

Body Repair Technicians (Panel beaters) repair and replace vehicle bodywork which has either been damaged in a collision or deliberately damaged.



As an apprentice you will learn how to repair, and sometimes replace, damaged bodywork using specialist techniques with traditional tools and the latest equipment.




  • Assessing a vehicle to establish the extent of damage

  • Based on the initial assessment, deciding whether to repair or replace bodywork

  • Removing damaged panels

  • Refitting new/repaired panels

  • Repairing damaged bodywork using traditional dolly and hammer or more modern techniques

  • Repairing small dents, holes or corroded areas using a compound filler



A certain amount of administration and customer interaction is also required:




  • Keeping a record of work carried out and time taken

  • Liaising with the customer or insurance company

  • Providing quotations and estimations



As part of the service a bodyshop offers, you may also carry out valeting, to ensure the vehicles look as good as new.

  • Polish the windows, wheels, door handles and mirrors


Personal Qualities :

Commitment and enthusiasm are a must and a passion for motor vehicles and physical work would be an advantage.



Skills Required :

The job involves numerous activities and panel beaters will need to be comfortable with a wide range of vehicles. As a panel beater, you will often be working as part of a team, so good communication and being able to follow instructions would be good skills to have.



Future Prospects :

If you’re looking for a motor industry apprenticeship which could lead not just to a job but a long-term career with opportunities for promotion and progression, then this could be for you.
