Salary: OTE £60,000

Hours: Monday to Friday 8am-5.30pm

We're looking for an experienced Bodyshop Production Supervisor to lead the paint and repair team at our Eastleigh Prep Centre, driving throughput, quality, and consistency across the workshop floor.

You'll combine hands-on paint expertise with strong people management, ensuring every vehicle meets Carsa's quality standards while hitting daily production targets that keep stock moving into our branches.

Key Responsibilities

Supervise day to day bodyshop operations at Eastleigh, allocating work across sprayers, panel beaters, and prep technicians to meet daily/weekly throughput targets
Oversee paint quality control, colour matching, finish standards, and defect free sign off before vehicles move on to the next prep stage or branch
Plan and manage workflow scheduling to minimise bottlenecks between strip down, panel repair, prep, paint, and polish stages
Monitor productivity metrics (jobs completed, turnaround times, rework rates) and report against KPIs to the Prep Centre Manager
Ensure compliance with health & safety regulations, COSHH requirements, and correct use of PPE/spray booth equipment
Manage material and consumable stock levels (paint, primers, lacquers, abrasives) to avoid production delays
Coach and develop bodyshop technicians, identifying training needs and supporting new apprentices within the Eastleigh team when on board
Conduct quality checks and final inspections, resolving any comebacks or rework efficiently
Liaise with the wider prep team (Workshop, Inspection/Condition Reports) and branch teams to keep vehicles moving through the pipeline
Log job progress and outcomes accurately in CarsaNet, ensuring prep records are up to date for reporting and stock visibility

Strong technical knowledge of automotive refinishing, waterborne/solvent-based paint systems, colour matching, spray booth operation

Solid understanding of bodyshop workflow (strip, repair, prep, paint, polish, QC)
People management experience, able to motivate, coach, and hold a team accountable
Working knowledge of health & safety and COSHH compliance in a bodyshop environment
Comfortable using workshop/vehicle management software (CarsaNet training provided)
Full UK driving licence

Desirable experience:

City & Guilds / IMI qualification in Vehicle Refinishing or equivalent
Experience with specific paint brand systems (e.g. PPG, Standox, Glasurit)
Lean/production efficiency experience (5S, takt time, etc.)
Experience working within a multi site used car reconditioning or fleet environment

Stable, long-term opportunity in a growing automotive business
Supportive team environment
