You will be based at our Arden Parkdepot, working alongside an experienced team who will support and mentor you along the way.

Motor vehicle chassis and body alignment, e.g. underbody measurement and its impact on suspension and steering geometry
Vehicle body types, panel identification, safety systems, materials and alternative fuel
Use of Body Panel Repair tools, equipment and devices used in the process e.g. alignment jigs, resistance welding equipment, riveting and bonding tools
Removal and replacement of body panels and associated parts e.g. mechanically fixed components, chemically fixed components
