At Cleveland Designs, we're not working on ordinary vehicles.
One day, you could be restoring a classic muscle car that hasn't seen the road in decades. The next, you might be helping transform a vintage truck into a modern performance machine or crafting custom bodywork for a one-of-a-kind build. Every vehicle that enters our shop is different, and every project presents a new opportunity to create something remarkable.
This isn't a production environment where the same repair is repeated day after day. Our team works on unique restorations, custom builds, and specialty vehicles that demand creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. These are the kinds of projects that stop people in their tracks at a car show, spark conversations wherever they go, and become the pride and joy of their owners.
As an Automotive Body Technician or Painter, you'll help bring these vehicles to life. From shaping custom metal panels and restoring body lines to laying down show-quality paint finishes, your work will be seen and appreciated long after the project leaves the shop. You'll have the satisfaction of watching a vehicle evolve from a rough idea, a forgotten classic, or a bare shell into something truly extraordinary.
We're looking for people who take pride in their craft and enjoy being part of the entire journey. People who appreciate quality over shortcuts and understand that the smallest details can make all the difference. Here, your work isn't just another repair order. It's part of a build that tells a story.
At Cleveland Designs, you'll work alongside a passionate team of builders, fabricators, painters, and technicians who share a love for automotive craftsmanship. Every project is different, every challenge is unique, and every completed build is something you can stand back and be proud of.
