Key Responsibilities

Panel Fabrication & Shaping: Measure, cut, bend, beat, and reshape sheet metal, armored plates, and composite materials to match exact vehicle body contours and design templates.

Structural Alignment & Frame Straightening: Utilize hydraulic pulling equipment, alignment jigs, and measuring systems to realign warped, misaligned, or damaged vehicle frames and body structures.

Metal Joining & Preparation: Perform tack welding, brazing, planishing, shrinking, and stretching on metal components to achieve flawless, stress-free surfaces before surface finishing.

Component Fitting: Fit, align, and secure exterior body panels, doors, hinges, hoods, armor plating, and custom brackets to ensure correct panel gaps and seamless mechanical integration.

Defect Rectification & Surface Repair: Identify and repair surface irregularities, dents, distortion, or structural flaws in body shells using specialized hammers, dollies, blocks, and metal-forming tools.

Blueprint Compliance: Work directly from engineering blueprints, 3D body schematics, and technical specifications to build or modify vehicle body structures.

Key Engineering & Technical Knowledge Requirements

Sheet Metal & Armor Metallurgy: Deep understanding of metal behavior, work hardening, elasticity, thermal expansion, and mechanical properties of high-strength steel, aluminum, and armor alloys.

Body Alignment & Geometric Dimensioning: Expertise in reading geometric dimensions, measuring body points, and operating hydraulic chassis pullers and frame-alignment jigs.

Metalworking & Shaping Techniques: Mastery of planishing, shrinking, stretching, wheeling (English wheel), power hammering, and hand-beating techniques.

Engineering Blueprint Interpretation: Ability to read and execute body assembly directly from technical engineering drawings, CAD views, and structural layouts.

Quality Assurance Standards: Strong knowledge of automotive body fitment tolerances, surface flatness checks, and structural integrity standards for heavy and armored vehicles.

Qualifications & Experience

Education: NABTEB, Trade Test Class 1, OND, or HND/B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Experience: Minimum of 2–5 years of hands-on panel beating and auto-body fabrication experience within a vehicle manufacturing plant, coachbuilding facility, or heavy equipment fabrication shop.

Skills: High manual dexterity, spatial reasoning, proficiency with pneumatic and hydraulic metalworking tools, and strong attention to dimensional accuracy.
