Skills & Competencies

Skills relevant to this opportunity

  • Power grinders and hand files — routinely file, grind, sand, and smooth body filler and welded repair areas to production-ready finish with minimal oversight in a busy collision shop.
  • Hammers and dolly blocks — independently position and work dented body panels back to approximate OEM contour using proper technique on standard passenger vehicles.
  • MIG welding equipment and wrenches — fit and weld replacement panels or structural sections into place and grind welds smooth with confidence on common repair jobs.
  • Paint sprayguns and motorized sanders — apply primer and finish coats to repaired surfaces, matching texture and sheen to adjacent panels in a climate-controlled paint booth.
  • Alignment machines with hydraulic systems — chain or clamp moderately damaged frames and body sections to alignment equipment and operate hydraulic pressure controls to restore dimensions.
  • Masking materials and surface prep supplies — complete full vehicle masking and sanding sequences efficiently, meeting shop cycle-time targets before paint application.
