Overview
You start your shift knowing what’s expected and having the tools, time and trust to do the job properly. The vehicle in front of you needs skilled hands, problem‑solving and attention to detail – not shortcuts. You work alongside people who value safe, well‑finished repairs and who understand that panel beating is as much about judgement and care as it is strength. That’s what life is like as a Panel Technician at Solus.
The role
As a Panel Technician / Panel Beater, you’ll take ownership of structural and non‑structural repairs, restoring vehicles to a safe, high‑quality standard. Your work will play a critical part in the overall repair journey – setting the foundation for paint, refit and final delivery.

- Carry out removal, replacement and alignment of vehicle body panels
- Follow manufacturer methods and repair standards to ensure safety and quality
- Work collaboratively with Paint, MET and production teams to keep repairs flowing
- Maintain a clean, safe working environment and professional standards
This is a hands‑on, practical role where skill, care and consistency matter every day.

- Time spent in an automotive or accident repair environment as a Panel Beater
