- Jimmy Johnson
Engineer – Classic & Custom Vehicle Builds
Full Time | Permanent
We’re supporting a specialist workshop known for producing high-end custom and fully rebuilt vehicles, and they’re looking to add a talented Build Engineer / Automotive Fabricator / Custom Vehicle Builder to the team. The right person will be hands-on, methodical, and take real pride in precision engineering and craftsmanship.
Key Responsibilities:
*
Engine, gearbox, and drivetrain installation on bespoke builds
*
Complete chassis-up construction, including suspension, steering, braking, and fuel systems
*
MIG welding and structural fabrication (TIG experience highly valued)
*
Installing custom electrical systems, lighting, audio, and power accessories
*
Building, routing, and testing wiring looms with a problem-solving approach to electrical integration
*
Body panel alignment, coachbuilding-style fit-up, and full interior installation
*
Working from detailed technical drawings, build specs, and custom fabrication plans
What You’ll Need:
*
Proven experience in vehicle building, engineering, or custom fabrication
*
Confident in MIG welding, metalwork, and custom chassis/frame setups
*
Strong grasp of automotive electrical systems, especially in retrofitted or upgraded builds
*
Ability to read and interpret technical plans, wiring diagrams, and build documentation
*
High attention to detail with pride in craftsmanship, alignment, and finish quality
*
A clean, focused, and self-led approach to one-off vehicle builds
*
Comfortable working in a precision-driven, small-team workshop environment
What Sets You Apart:
*
You think like an engineer: logical, practical, and solutions-focused
*
You care about how things fit, feel, and function — not just how fast they go together
*
You’re resourceful under pressure and bring a calm, can-do mindset
*
You take ownership of your builds from bare chassis to final fit
*
You’ve got excellent spatial awareness and a mechanical feel for balance, structure, and symmetry
If you live for engineered builds, vehicle craftsmanship, and creating something unique from the ground up — this is your kind of role.
