About J&J Detailing
J&J Detailing is one of the UK’s leading paint protection film studios. We specialise in protecting high-end, luxury, and performance cars using paint protection film, also known as PPF.
We work on cars such as Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Range Rover, BMW M cars, Mercedes-AMG, and many other premium vehicles.
We are a growing company with a modern studio, a strong reputation, and a very high standard of work. We care about quality, attention to detail, and giving customers a premium experience.
As we continue to grow, we are looking for a full-time PPF Pattern & Print Technician to join our team.
The Role
This role is based around preparing PPF kits for cars before they go into the workshop.
You will use computer software to find the correct patterns for each vehicle, prepare the film layout, and print the PPF pieces ready for our installers.
Think of it like preparing a template for each part of the car. The installer then uses those printed pieces to fit the film onto the vehicle.
You do not need to be an experienced PPF installer to apply. We can train the right person. The most important things are that you are good with computers, organised, careful, and have strong attention to detail.
This role could suit someone with experience in vehicle graphics, sign-making, vinyl cutting, printing, CAD, design software, or automotive work.
What You’ll Be Doing
Using specialist software to find the correct PPF patterns for each car
Checking the vehicle model, year, and body shape before printing
Preparing the film layout on the computer
Printing/cutting PPF kits ready for the installation team
Checking the printed pieces are correct before they go into the workshop
Keeping the print area clean and organised
Working closely with the installers to make sure each kit is prepared properly
Helping reduce mistakes and wasted film
Following the daily job schedule and deadlines
What We’re Looking For
Someone who is confident using computers
Someone with excellent attention to detail
Someone organised and reliable
Someone who can work accurately and carefully
Someone who takes pride in doing things properly
Someone who is willing to learn
An interest in cars would be helpful, but it is not essential
Experience That Would Help
Experience with PPF software
Vinyl cutting or plotting
Vehicle graphics
Sign-making
Printing or print production
CAD or design software
Automotive or workshop experience
You do not need all of the above experience. Training can be provided for the right person.
What We Offer
A full-time role in a fast-growing company
The chance to work around luxury and performance cars
A modern, professional studio environment
Training and support
Long-term career opportunity
A supportive team
Competitive pay based on experience
Working Hours
Monday to Friday
8:00am to 5:30pm
How to Apply
If you are organised, good with computers, detail-focused, and interested in working in the automotive industry, we would like to hear from you.
Please apply with your CV and a short message telling us about any relevant experience you have with computers, printing, vehicle graphics, sign-making, CAD, software, or cars.
Pay: £28,000.00-£30,000.00 per year
