Vehicle Inspector (Hub Inspector) in Potters Bar

This is an exciting opportunity for an automotive enthusiast to join Manheim as a Vehicle Inspector. You will have the chance to inspect a wide range of vehicles and travel to diverse locations around your hub area, making each day different and rewarding. As a Hub / Vehicle Inspector, you will deliver high-quality and efficient vehicle inspection services to Manheim's customers, ensuring every inspection meets our industry-leading standards for accuracy, consistency, and customer experience.

Based out of our South Mimms location, you will work closely with a team of drivers to plan your daily route and complete inspection appointments allocated by our scheduling team. You will also help ensure drivers are supported in returning to the hub at the end of the day. There is no need to use your own vehicle—you will be provided with a company pool vehicle and fuel card for all work-related travel. While previous experience is beneficial, it isn’t essential. We have seen great success with individuals from roles such as body shop technicians, SMART repairers, and vehicle damage assessors. What matters most is having a keen eye for detail, a passion for vehicles, and an enjoyment of variety—meeting new people and visiting new locations every day.
