Job Description

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.
