Vehicle Restoration Technician

Location: West Yorkshire
Salary: 40,000 - 45,000 (DOE) + Private Bupa Medical Insurance + Life Insurance
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm


About the Company

Metalis are supporting a high end automotive specialist who are at the forefront of luxury restoration and customisation vehicle projects.

This is a business that creates 200k+ bespoke car builds shipped worldwide, from Montana to Dubai. Every vehicle is tailored to a client's unique vision, whether that's a champagne cooler in the rear, a SAS-inspired interior, or re-engineering vehicle to meet strict European emissions standards.

The workshop is also the showroom - an immaculate, professional space where quality, creativity, and problem-solving are at the heart of everything.

The Role:

This is not your average technician role. You'll be building a vehicle from the chassis up - typically completing three to four full builds a year. You'll work on one vehicle at a time from start to finish, handling assembly, fitting, fabrication, and bespoke engineering challenges.

No two builds are the same, one week you might be fabricating brackets for a US crate engine, the next you could be installing custom fuel lines or converting a vehicle from left-hand to right-hand drive.

You'll need to think outside the box, adapt to unique challenges, and take pride in the details. Perfection matters here, if something isn't right, then it's made right.

Key Responsibilities:

• Building bespoke luxury vehicles from chassis to completion.
• Fit and assemble components including engines, transmissions, fuel systems, and interiors.
• Carry out fabrication and light welding as required.
• Problem-solve engineering challenges, often creating solutions not found in manuals.
• Collaborate closely with a small, skilled team.
• Maintain an immaculate workspace the workshop doubles as a showroom.

What We're Looking For:

• Hands-on experience in automotive assembly, restoration, motorsport, or mechanical engineering.
• Practical fabrication and welding skills (training provided if needed).
• Ability to work independently on a full build after onboarding.
• Strong problem-solving mindset and "can-do" approach.
• An eye for detail and pride in producing flawless work.
• Comfortable working in a high-end, client-focused environment.
• Knowledge of vehicle builds is advantageous
• Motorsport or custom car build background highly desirable.

Benefits:

• Salary 45k-45k depending on experience.
• Private Bupa medical insurance (with optional family cover at reduced rate).
• Life insurance.
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off.
• Tools provided (option to bring your own).
• Work on world-class projects for high-profile clients.

About You

You may be from a motorsport, engineering, or restoration background, or you might be an experienced automotive technician with a passion for custom builds. You'll be someone who thrives on variety, embraces new challenges, and takes pride in craftsmanship.

If your hobby is building cars, bikes, or anything mechanical in your spare time, then APPLY with your cv TODAY , this company / opportunity could be one you've only ever dreamed about!
