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.
