Location: Guildford
Hours: 42.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 8:30am–6:00pm
Love cars, enjoy keeping things organised and want to build a career in the automotive industry while keeping your weekends free? This could be the perfect opportunity for you!
We are looking for a confident, energetic and proactive individual to join a busy dealership as a Used Car Controller. You will play an important role in managing vehicle stock, coordinating preparation and ensuring the showroom and forecourt are always presented to a high standard.
This is a varied position where no two days will be the same. You will work closely with the Sales and Workshop teams, helping ensure vehicles are prepared, advertised and ready for customers.
Previous automotive experience is not essential. If you have a positive attitude, excellent organisational skills and the confidence to take ownership of your workload, we would love to hear from you!
Key responsibilities
- Vehicle preparation: Coordinate the progress of new and used vehicles, monitor preparation work and liaise with the Workshop team to obtain updates and pricing.
- Online vehicle advertising: Photograph vehicles and manage online adverts, including Auto Trader listings, ensuring stock is accurately represented and presented professionally.
- Forecourt presentation: Keep the forecourt organised and ensure all vehicles are displayed to a high standard.
- Vehicle arrivals: Check in incoming vehicle deliveries, ensure everything is accounted for and follow the correct processes.
- Showroom presentation: Help maintain the new car showroom, ensuring vehicles and the surrounding area are always looking their best.
- Team communication: Work closely with the Sales and Workshop teams, providing updates and helping ensure vehicles are ready when required.
- Taking ownership: Be proactive, identify what needs doing and look for ways to improve processes and keep things running smoothly.
What we’re looking for
We are looking for someone with personality, initiative and a genuine can-do attitude. You will be organised, confident and happy to take responsibility for your work.
Ideally, you will have:
- Excellent organisational skills and a strong eye for detail.
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise your workload.
- A proactive approach, with the confidence to use your initiative.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build relationships with colleagues.
- Good IT skills and the ability to learn new systems and platforms.
- Pride in presentation and an appreciation for attention to detail.
- A positive attitude and willingness to get stuck in.
- The ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
Automotive experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Experience in customer service, administration, vehicle sales or another fast-paced environment could be just as valuable. Full training will be provided for the right person.
What’s on offer?
- Competitive salary of £30,300, with the opportunity to earn up to £35,000.
- Monday to Friday working hours – enjoy your weekends off!
