Paint and Body Technician

Love cars? Want to work on the ones people dream about?

At Kindred Motorworks, we restore classic cars and convert many of them to electric. Same look. Same soul. Modern performance.

• This is not collision repair.
• This is not insurance work.
• This is high end restoration and craftsmanship, done the right way.

You’ll be working on real classic cars, with a skilled team that cares about quality, safety, and pride in the work.

What you’ll actually be doing:

Your main focus is auto body and metal work, but we expect everyone to be versatile and willing to pitch in and grow where needed.

• Repairing and restoring classic car bodies
• Removing rust and damaged metal
• Repairing, shaping, and fitting metal panels
• Replacing and aligning body panels
• Setting clean gaps and straight lines
• Prepping bodies for paint and final build stages
• Inspecting your own work and fixing issues before they move downstream
• Working closely with Fabrication, Paint, and Assembly teams
• Keeping your tools and work area clean, safe, and organized

What we’re looking for

• 1–5 years of hands on auto body or metal repair experience
• Comfortable with hands on, physical work in an active production environment
• Pride in doing clean, solid work
• Able to work well with a large team and communicate on the floor
• Willing to learn, take feedback, and follow processes
• Valid driver’s license
• English does not need to be perfect

Skill, attitude, and effort matter more than fancy credentials.

• I-CAR certification
• Auto Body or Collision Repair trade school
• Metal shaping or structural repair experience
• Welding experience (MIG or spot welding)
• Experience with classic cars or restoration work

Why work at Kindred?
Work on iconic classic cars, not beat up insurance jobs

• Be part of modern builds and EV conversions
• No rush jobs or insurance pressure
• Clean, organized production environment
• Skilled teammates who respect the craft
• Full-time, steady work you can be proud of

If you love cars and want to build something that actually matters, Kindred is a great place to work.
