Job description

Automotive Body & Paint Technician

More Access. More Production. Pride in the Whole Repair.

Parsons of Eagle River is looking for an experienced Automotive Body & Paint Technician to join our small, highly productive collision repair team.

The size of our team is one of our greatest advantages. With fewer technicians sharing the shop, you’ll have dependable access to the tools, equipment, and paint booth you need. That means less time waiting and more opportunity to keep repairs moving and book productive hours.

It’s an opportunity to use your full skill set, manage the quality of the entire job, and take genuine pride in the vehicle you return to the customer.

We’re a close-knit, hardworking team with high standards. Everyone contributes, everyone’s work matters, and we stand behind what we do. If you want to be part of a respected local shop where craftsmanship and productivity go together, Parsons may be the right fit.
