Job description

A-Level Auto Body Technician

Severn Auto Body | CollisionRight
Annapolis (Chinquapin) & Severna Park, Maryland

UP TO $17,500 IN HIRING & RELOCATION INCENTIVES

We're looking for experienced A-Level Auto Body Technicians to join our Severn Auto Body teams in Annapolis and Severna Park.

For the right technician, we're prepared to offer:

  • Up to $10,000 Sign-On Bonus
  • Up to $7,500 Relocation Assistance
  • Competitive earning opportunity in a high-performance collision repair environment
  • We're open to discussing what it takes to bring the right A-Tech to our team.

If you're an experienced collision technician who can take ownership of complex repairs, perform structural work and deliver safe, quality repairs according to OEM procedures, we want to talk to you — even if that conversation requires a move to Maryland.

SUMMARY

The A-Level Auto Body Technician is an experienced collision repair professional capable of independently completing complex vehicle repairs from disassembly through completed body repair.

This position performs structural and non-structural repairs, panel replacement, sectioning, welding and component replacement in accordance with OEM repair procedures, company quality standards and established production expectations.

The ideal technician combines advanced collision repair skills with strong productivity, attention to detail and a commitment to performing safe and proper repairs.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Independently perform complex structural and non-structural collision repairs in accordance with the repair plan, OEM procedures and company standards.
  • Repair, replace and align damaged body panels and structural components to restore vehicles to pre-accident condition.
  • Perform panel replacement, sectioning, welding, metal repair and other advanced body repair procedures.
  • Utilize frame equipment, measuring systems and specialized collision repair tools as required.
  • Follow OEM repair procedures and manufacturer specifications when determining and completing appropriate repair methods.
  • Identify additional or hidden damage during the repair process and promptly communicate findings to management and the repair planning team.
  • Review assigned repairs and communicate any issues that could affect repair quality, production or promised completion dates.
  • Verify completed repairs meet company, OEM and industry quality and safety standards before advancing the vehicle through the repair process.
  • Properly use, maintain and safeguard tools, equipment and assigned work areas.
  • Maintain an organized, clean and safe work environment.
  • Wear all required personal protective equipment and follow established safety procedures.
  • Collaborate with estimators, repair planners, painters, technicians and other teammates to maintain efficient vehicle flow through the repair process.
  • Maintain current knowledge of evolving vehicle construction, materials, repair methods and OEM procedures.
  • Comply with all applicable federal, state and local requirements affecting collision repair operations, including hazardous material and waste-handling requirements.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • High School Diploma or equivalent preferred.
  • 5+ years of collision repair/body technician experience preferred, or equivalent demonstrated advanced collision repair capability.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently complete complex collision repairs.
  • Strong knowledge of structural and non-structural vehicle repair.
  • Experience with frame/structural repair and measuring.
  • Demonstrated experience with panel replacement, sectioning and welding.
  • Strong understanding of and ability to follow OEM repair procedures.
  • I-CAR training/certifications strongly preferred; I-CAR Platinum is a significant plus.
  • Current or previous OEM certifications/training strongly preferred.
  • Aluminum repair experience is highly valued.
  • Experience working in an OEM-certified or I-CAR Gold Class collision repair environment is a plus.
  • Ability to safely operate frame equipment, welding equipment, measuring systems and other collision repair tools.
  • Strong attention to detail with a commitment to safe, quality repairs.
  • Ability to effectively communicate additional repair needs, production concerns and repair challenges.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a fast-paced, team-oriented production environment.
  • Ability to perform the physical requirements of the position, including lifting, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching and working in confined areas.
