Wheel Repair Technician
Job Description
Wheel Repair Technician / Automotive All-Rounder
Location: Te Rapa, Hamilton
Full-time position
Got a thing for cars and enjoy getting your hands dirty?
We’re looking for a Wheel Repair Technician / Automotive All-Rounder to join our small, busy panel and paint shop.
The main part of the job will be repairing and restoring alloy wheels, along with fitting and balancing tyres. You’ll also be helping out with general workshop jobs, including stripping and fitting panels on vehicles.
This is a great role for someone who already has some hands-on automotive experience and wants to build on their skills.
What you'll be doing
Repairing and restoring alloy wheels
Fitting, removing and balancing tyres
Preparing wheels for painting and refinishing
Helping with stripping and fitting vehicle panels
Assisting the panel and paint team wherever needed
Keeping the workshop tidy and organised
Making sure the job is done properly, not just quickly
What we're looking for
You don't need to be a qualified panel beater or wheel technician, but you do need to know your way around cars and be comfortable using tools.
We're looking for someone who:
Has some light automotive/mechanical experience
Can fit and balance tyres
Is practical and mechanically minded
Takes pride in their work
Has a good eye for detail
Is reliable and turns up ready to work
Can work well in a small team
Isn't afraid to get stuck into whatever needs doing
Experience with alloy wheel repairs, panel work, sanding, painting or vehicle preparation would be a bonus, but we're happy to teach the right person.
Has eligibility to work in New Zealand
The job
We're a small, busy workshop, so everyone pitches in and no two days are exactly the same. You'll get the chance to work across wheels, tyres, panel work and general automotive jobs rather than doing the same thing all day.
If you're someone who likes cars, enjoys practical work and takes pride in what you do, we'd like to hear from you.
