Coach builder – Classic Car Restoration - up to £55,000

Location: Auto RARA Workshop, Derby, UK
Schedule: Full-time, Permanent | Monday to Friday, 9 hrs/day (overtime available)

Are you a master metal shaper ready to bring your craft to some of the UK’s most exciting classic car builds? Join Auto RARA and become part of a team renowned for precision, innovation and automotive artistry.

About Auto RARA

Auto RARA has built a name as one of Derbyshire’s leading classic car restoration and restomod specialists — restoring and transforming iconic vehicles for enthusiasts across the UK. We’re expanding fast and have big plans: from concours-quality restorations to bespoke restomods and race-ready builds across a range of prestigious marques.

Our dedicated fabrication team are at the heart of this ambition — and we’re now looking for an experienced Senior Coach Builder to help us take our metalwork to the next level.

Why join us?

✅ High-end projects: Work on rare and cherished classics, unique restomods, and purpose-built competition cars.

✅ Craftsmanship culture: We invest in quality tools — from English Wheels to specialist metal forming equipment — and give you the time and support to do the job properly.

✅ Autonomy & impact: Shape your own department and influence our fabrication standards. Mentor junior fabricators and help drive innovation in how we deliver complex projects.

✅ Growth & variety: No two builds are the same — your skills will be challenged, developed and truly appreciated by both colleagues and discerning clients.

What you’ll be doing

Carry out precision vehicle fabrication, metal shaping and panel beating on classic and modern classic cars.
Restore, repair and fabricate individual panels and bespoke parts, ensuring authenticity and fit to original or upgraded specifications.
Use advanced metal forming tools — including English Wheels, bead rollers, shrinkers/stretchers, folders and specialist hand tools — with skill and care.
Execute high-quality welding (TIG and MIG) and metal finishing to ensure panels are structurally sound and visually flawless.
Collaborate closely with the bodyshop and project managers to keep restorations on schedule, using project plans and Gantt charts.
Share expertise and provide guidance to junior team members, supporting our culture of craftsmanship and learning.

What we’re looking for

✔ Highly skilled panel maker: Confident with English Wheel work, bead rolling, shrinking/stretching, folding and forming complex panels by hand.
✔ Expert welder: Strong TIG welding ability (essential), plus MIG where needed — consistently neat, strong welds.
✔ Workshop experience: Classic or modern classic experience preferred.
✔ Attention to detail: Pride in achieving metalwork that needs minimal filler and sets the standard for the industry.
✔ Professional work ethic: Self-motivated, punctual and able to manage your own workload while contributing positively to the team.
✔ Process-driven: Capable of recording progress and working to project plans.

What we offer

A permanent, full-time position in an ambitious, supportive environment.
Overtime and additional hours available for the right person.
Opportunity to build your own specialist function within a growing business.
A chance to work on vehicles that excite, challenge and inspire you every day.

Ready to shape history, one panel at a time?

Bring your metalwork mastery to Auto RARA and leave your mark on some of the UK’s finest classic car projects.

How to apply:
Send us your CV and a short note about your favourite metal shaping job so far — we’d love to see what you can do.
