Job Description

Auto Body Technician – 1st Class (Structural / Heavy Hit)

UNIBODY Autotech Collision – Honolulu, HI
Full-Time | Top Pay Based on Experience | High-Performance Shop

Built Different. Repairing the Future of Collision.

UNIBODY Autotech Collision is Hawaii’s premier OEM-certified collision repair center, specializing in advanced vehicle repair including Tesla, Rivian, and modern ADAS-equipped vehicles . We’re not a production shop—we’re a precision repair facility focused on doing the job right, following OEM procedures, and delivering elite-level workmanship.

We’re looking for a 1st Class Auto Body Technician with strong structural experience to join our high-performing team.

What You’ll Do

Perform advanced structural repairs including frame and unibody corrections
Section, replace, and install quarter panels and major structural components
Execute high-level welding (MIG, spot weld, silicon bronze, aluminum) to OEM standards
Disassemble and reassemble vehicles with accuracy and efficiency
Work from OEM repair procedures and ensure compliance on every job
Collaborate with estimators and production team to ensure proper repair plans
Identify additional damage and communicate for supplements
Maintain quality control standards – no shortcuts, no guesswork

What We’re Looking For

5+ years experience as a high-level auto body technician
Proven experience with quarter panel replacements and structural welding
Strong understanding of OEM repair procedures and safety standards
Experience with aluminum repair (preferred)
Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-driven environment
Pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail
I-CAR certifications (a plus, not required – we will help you grow)

Why UNIBODY

Work on high-end, late-model vehicles (EV + ADAS)
Top-tier pay for top-tier talent (flat rate + performance opportunity)
Clean, modern facility with advanced equipment
Steady workflow – no shortage of work
Growth opportunities into leadership and specialized roles
Supportive, professional culture – we invest in our team

Compensation

Competitive based on experience and skill level
High earning potential for high performers

Who This Role is For

This is for a true craftsman — not a parts hanger.
If you take pride in doing structural repairs the right way, understand welding and panel replacement at a high level, and want to be part of a shop that values quality over shortcuts , we want to talk to you.

Apply Today

Join a team that’s raising the standard in collision repair.
