Industrial Body Shop Technician
Location: Virginia Beach, VA
Job Type: Full-Time | Evaluation Hire (Temp-to-Hire)
Pay: $21/hr
Bring Your Body Shop Skills to Manufacturing
Express Employment Professionals is seeking an experienced Industrial Body Shop Technician for a growing manufacturing company specializing in custom architectural products.
This is not an automotive collision repair position. Instead, you'll use your body shop skills to prepare fabricated metal components for paint and finishing. If you have experience with metal finishing, surface preparation, body filler, sanding, and cosmetic repairs, this is an excellent opportunity to put those skills to work in a stable manufacturing environment.
What You'll Do
Grind, sand, and smooth fabricated metal surfaces
Repair dents, imperfections, and surface defects
Apply body filler, primers, and sealers
Perform basic metal shaping and straightening
Prepare parts for the paint department
Operate grinders, sanders, drills, and other hand and power tools
Inspect completed work to ensure quality and cosmetic appearance
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment
Collaborate with fabrication, welding, and paint teams to meet production goals
Qualifications
We're looking for candidates with experience in one or more of the following:
Automotive body shop
Collision repair
Metal finishing
Industrial manufacturing
Fabrication
Paint preparation
Surface preparation
Successful candidates will have: Experience using grinders, sanders, and hand tools
Strong attention to detail
Pride in producing quality work
Ability to read and follow work instructions
Reliable attendance and a strong work ethic
Physical Requirements
Lift up to 50 pounds
Stand, bend, kneel, and perform repetitive tasks throughout the shift
Work safely around dust, noise, and manufacturing equipment
Wear required PPE, including steel-toe boots
Schedule
Monday-Friday
First Shift
Overtime opportunities available, including Saturdays as needed
Why You'll Love This Opportunity
This role offers the chance to use your body shop and metal finishing skills in a manufacturing setting where craftsmanship matters. You'll work on custom products-not insurance repairs-with opportunities for overtime, long-term employment, and career growth.
Please Note
This is an industrial manufacturing position , not a traditional automotive body shop. Candidates should have experience with surface preparation, cosmetic metal repair, or industrial finishing. A hands-on skills evaluation may be part of the interview process.
