Coventry | £40K£46K basic (OTE £55K)
If you can strip a car down to the shell and build it back to manufacturer standard without cutting a corner, you already know most bodyshops won't pay you what that's worth. This one does.
I'm Roland I spent 25+ years on the tools before I started placing technicians, so I'll talk to you straight, technician to technician, and I won't put you forward for a workshop that doesn't fit.
This is a Coventry accident repair centre that's been doing it properly since 1990 British Standard approved and manufacturer approved across 12+ marques including Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Lotus, BMW and Mini. They put real money into training and kit, which on the MET side means clean work, correct procedures, and a structured team around you rather than chaos. I know the place happy to tell you exactly who they are on a confidential call.
The work: Strip and rebuild mechanical, electrical and trim. Repairs to manufacturer and Thatcham standards. Working inside a high-performing team where standards actually get held, not just talked about.
What they're after: ATA / NVQ Level 3 (they'll get you trained up if you're close but not there), solid bodyshop/MET experience with some diagnostics understanding, a proper work ethic, and a full UK licence.
What you get: £40K£46K basic, weekly attendance bonus plus monthly efficiency bonus taking realistic OTE to £55K, 28 days holiday plus your birthday off, manufacturer training and a real progression path, flexible hours with overtime there if you want it, MondayFriday, 8am5pm, 40-hour contract. No weekends.
If you're a MET tech who's good and quietly fed up with being underpaid for it, have a confidential look. Nothing goes anywhere near your current employer this stays between us until you decide otherwise.
