We have an excellent opportunity available for a Bodyshop Technician to join our team at Sytner Select Northampton.

We are looking for a Paint Technician with excellent attention to detail and with the ability to complete work to an exceptional quality every time.

You should have experience of spraying modern water-based basecoat products, and lacquers. This would include the use of metallic and pearlescent colours for both blending on repairs and full vehicle repaints.

The ideal candidate for this position is someone who is an all-rounder with experience in minor repair such as stone chips, scratches, and small dents. Experience in stripping and refitting of items such as bumpers, door handles, and mouldings is preferred, but not essential. You would also be responsible for colour checking and matching of your own jobs through spraying out colour chips and in-house spectrometer readings.

You would be required to provide your own base and clear spray guns, and basic hand tools for stripping/refitting of vehicle bodywork components.

Each of our dealerships boasts state-of-the-art facilities, equipment and technology in workshops, which are safe, friendly and clean. We are committed to ensuring our colleagues have a safe environment to operate in and provide all necessary PPE.
