Careers at DOP AUTOPAINT & DETAILING
Careers
Join a team that takes genuine pride in craftsmanship, obsessive attention to detail, and the kind of customer experience that turns first-time clients into lifelong ones. At DOP AUTOPAINT & DETAILING, we're building more than cars — we're building standards, systems and a culture of continuous improvement that pushes everyone here to grow.
Whether your strengths lie in workshop operations, paint and refinishing, sales, customer experience or business administration, we're always looking for people who care about doing great work — and who want to be part of a brand that's raising the bar for automotive care in Kenya.
We invest in our people. That means real training, clear progression, exposure to world-class products and techniques, and a working environment where good ideas are heard regardless of who's saying them. If that sounds like the kind of place you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.

Real Craftsmanship
Work on vehicles you'll actually be proud of. We refuse to cut corners, and that means every technician here builds a portfolio they can stand behind.
World-Class Tools & Products
You'll work with OEM-approved paint systems, professional-grade equipment and premium coatings from brands that global workshops trust.
Genuine Growth Path
Clear progression from apprentice to senior technician, team lead or specialist — with training funded and mentorship baked into the culture.
Fair Pay, On Time
Competitive salaries, performance bonuses for high-quality output, and pay that arrives when it should — every time, without excuses.
Respectful Environment
A professional, safe, well-organised workshop where every voice matters — no drama, no politics, just good people doing good work.
Be Part of Something Rising
We're growing fast across Nairobi's premium segment. Early team members grow with the brand — and that opens doors that don't exist elsewhere.
Skills we value — and roles we hire for
We hire for attitude first and skills second — because skills can be taught, but pride in your work can't. Across all roles, we look for people who are reliable, honest, coachable, and genuinely care about the finish they deliver. Below are the areas we regularly recruit into.

Experienced spray painters, prep technicians and colour matchers who understand the discipline behind a factory-grade finish.
Detailing Specialists
Machine polishers, interior detailing experts and ceramic coating installers who treat each car like their own.
Panel Beaters & Body Repair
Skilled hands for accident repair, panel straightening, welding and structural bodywork on modern and classic vehicles.
Customer Experience
Front-of-house team members who make every client feel welcome, informed and genuinely looked after from first call to collection.
