What you'll be doing?

• You’ll be hands-on from day one—supporting our Paintshop, learning real-world repair and paint skills, and working on all kinds of vehicles in a fast-paced workshop.


• Study towards your trade qualification while gaining experience in prepping, masking, colour matching, and more.


• You won’t just help keep our vehicles in top shape—you’ll be part of bringing them back to life and making them shine like new.


• Being part of a team that supports each other, solves problems together, and takes pride in top-quality work.


• Keeping our workshop looking good—because a clean and organised space makes all the difference!

What’s in it for you?

• We love social events, from parties to go-karting and bake sales, there’s something for everyone.
