ATA Paint Technician

ATA Paint Technician / Paint Sprayer
Southampton 
Permanent | Full-time
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

We’re looking for an experienced ATA Paint Technician / Paint Sprayer to join a modern automotive repair business.

If you’re already a strong painter but feel you’ve reached the point where you’re simply doing the same job in a different bodyshop, this one is worth looking at.

The business is putting real investment into training its technicians across different areas of vehicle repair, giving people the chance to build skills beyond their original trade.

The role

You’ll be responsible for high-quality vehicle preparation and refinishing across a range of repairs.

Your work will include:

• Preparing vehicles and panels for paint
• Colour matching
• Mixing and applying paint systems
• Primer, basecoat and clearcoat application
• Masking and preparation
• Polishing and finishing
• Identifying and correcting paint defects
• Maintaining quality throughout the repair process
• Working closely with Panel, MET and production colleagues

What we’re looking for

You should have:

• Current ATA Paint accreditation
• Good bodyshop or accident repair experience
• Strong preparation and refinishing skills
• Good colour-matching ability
• High standards of finish
• Pride in the quality of your work

We’re keen to hear from people currently working as:

• ATA Paint Technician
• Vehicle Paint Sprayer
• Paint Technician
• Vehicle Painter
• Automotive Refinisher
• Prepper / Painter

More than another paint job

Most bodyshops recruit a painter to paint. This business wants to take good technicians further.

You’ll have access to structured training across other repair disciplines, giving you the opportunity to build a much broader technical skillset over time.

For someone who enjoys paint but wants to keep learning and developing, it offers something genuinely different.
