Motor Parts Specialist in Ipswich

At Gallagher Bassett, we’re there when it matters most because helping people through challenging moments is more than just our job, it’s our purpose. Every day, we help clients navigate complexity, support recovery, and deliver outcomes that make a real difference in people’s lives. It takes empathy, precision, and a strong sense of partnership—and that’s exactly what you’ll find here.

Vehicle parts and navigating complex delays within the vehicle repair process are at the heart of this role. The introduction of new vehicles to the market has brought unique challenges, necessitating the creation of this position to ensure seamless operations and efficient solutions in an ever‑evolving automotive landscape. Based in our Ipswich office, this is a brand‑new role for someone who knows parts, understands the repair journey, and enjoys seeing a job through from start to finish.

You’ll take ownership of complex cases that don’t follow the usual process, finding smarter solutions, keeping customers informed, and making real decisions that impact both cost and customer outcomes. A car isn’t just a car, it keeps people moving. When it’s off the road, life can feel on hold. You’ll play a key role in getting things back on track and delivering a smooth experience with genuine job satisfaction along the way.

• Take ownership of parts delays, proactively driving solutions to keep repairs progressing
• Keep customers and clients informed with clear, timely communication throughout
• Track orders, timelines and availability, maintaining accurate records
