ACS Automotive are recruiting for an experienced Panel Beater to join a growing, family-run vehicle repair and refinishing business in Wickford.

This opportunity would suit someone who takes pride in producing high-quality repairs and enjoys working within a friendly, hands-on team. Alongside panel beating, you should be comfortable helping with other bodyshop tasks, particularly stripping and fitting, as workloads require.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Panel Beater within a bodyshop.

• Strong repair skills and excellent attention to detail.

• Experience in stripping and fitting, with a flexible approach to supporting the wider workshop.

• The ability to work efficiently without compromising quality.

• A positive attitude and good communication skills.

ATA accreditation or an NVQ Level 3 qualification would be advantageous, but experienced candidates without formal qualifications are welcome to apply. You must be willing to work towards relevant qualifications, with support available from the business.

What’s on offer:

• Salary of £40,000–£55,000, depending on experience.

• A full-time position within an expanding, family-run business.

• Company pension.

• On-site parking.

• Support to gain relevant qualifications.
