Automotive Restoration Technician
Description
Vintage Underground restores and builds vintage European, British, and Italian automobiles, plus bespoke and EV re-envisioned projects. Our team of 30 works across four Eugene shops. We are looking for a highly skilled technician who can take cars all the way down and bring them back up—mechanically complete, correctly assembled, and ready to finish.

- Diagnose, repair, and assemble vintage and custom vehicles to a high standard
- Work electrical systems on older European cars as well as later or modified builds
- Support complete restorations from disassembly through final mechanical assembly
- Collaborate with coachbuilders, body/paint, upholstery, machine shop, and project staff
- Document work clearly and keep a clean, organized, professional workspace
- Help maintain a quiet, drama-free shop
- Strong, hands-on skill across core automotive systems—not a single-specialty only role
- Experience with full mechanical restorations or complete vehicle builds
- Comfort with vintage European cars (British and Italian experience is a plus)
- Ability to work independently, problem-solve, and hold a high finish standard
- Reliable, professional, team-oriented; we value craft over ego
- Senior-level experience preferred
- $35–$60 per hour, based on skill and experience
- Company-paid medical, dental, and vision
- Two weeks of vacation, 40 hours of sick time, and six paid holidays
- Flexible hours

- A large backlog of high-quality, interesting builds
- In-person work in Eugene, Oregon
