About Profile

This candidate is a highly skilled MET Technician with extensive experience across accident repair, diagnostics, mechanical repair and manufacturer-level quality operations within the automotive industry. Their background includes working within high-standard manufacturing and accident repair environments where precision, efficiency and attention to detail were essential.

Currently working as an MET Technician within a busy accident repair environment, they carry out full strip and refit operations, panel replacement, geometry setup, polishing and complete interior rebuilds following accident damage, including airbag deployment repairs. They are also highly experienced with electrical diagnostics, mechanical repairs and servicing across multiple vehicle manufacturers.

A major strength is their strong technical and diagnostic ability. Their previous experience within automotive manufacturing and quality control environments included fault diagnosis, major vehicle rework, water leak diagnosis, electrical troubleshooting and full vehicle disassembly and rebuild operations. They also worked closely with engineering and development teams during new model launch programmes within high-end automotive manufacturing operations.

Highly motivated and technically minded, they are confident working independently or as part of a team and pride themselves on maintaining exceptionally high standards. Their experience spans both accident repair centres and manufacturer production facilities, giving them excellent understanding of repair quality, efficiency and workshop processes.
