Vehicle Damage Assessor - with £5k Golden Hello in Cardiff

Join the UK’s largest repair group in this fantastic opportunity as a Vehicle Damage Assessor at our busy new workshop in Cardiff.

As part of a team of professionals, you will undertake the inspection of damaged vehicles, assessing the full extent of the damage, costs of repair, and timeframes. An important aspect of this job is to identify the correct prescribed repair method and prepare, record, and maintain records of electronic and manual estimates. You will then liaise effectively with insurance companies to obtain their authority to repair the vehicle at the costs estimated. You will also effectively liaise with customers, engineers, and technicians to explain and ensure they understand the repair methodology.

You will be responsible for assessing many different marques of vehicle. This means keeping up to date with all repair methodologies, and it is also important for you as a Vehicle Damage Assessor to fully understand different insurers and manufacturers' literature and bulletins. Your aim is to ensure we get the customer's vehicle back on the road safely and in quick time.

You will need to have experience using Audatex, with a solid workshop background, and hold a full UK Driving Licence.
