Vehicle Damage Assessor vacancy in Cardiff!
  • Salary: Between £39,500-43,700 per annum pending experience.
  • Hours: Monday to Friday 8:30am-5:00pm
  • Benefits: In-house and Audatex training provided where required, great salary and more! 
Our client, an independent accident repair centre, is currently looking to recruit an experienced and professional Vehicle Damage Assessor to join their busy bodyshop in Cardiff.

Reporting to the Bodyshop Manager, your main purpose will be to:
  • To prepare manual and computerised estimates efficiently and ensure that they conform to the requirements laid down by the insurance company/customer so that customer care/satisfaction standards are maintained at all times.
  • To maintain a file of all estimates undertaken, making sure that all work that is not automatically authorised is identified. Ensure that any such work does not commence until authorisation is gained, following up on any unauthorised estimates and reporting reasons.
  • Once authorisation has been gained, liaise with the body shop personnel and make sure that they fully understand the work to be done as per the estimate. Alternately communicate to the Bodyshop if, by agreement with the insurance company, the vehicle is deemed a “total loss”.
  • To be aware of and adhere to all Health and Safety regulations and policies applicable to your position and working environment.
To be eligible for this VDA position, you will ideally hold strong and successful experience in vehicle estimating and ideally be Audatex trained/qualified. Automotive Technical Accreditation (ATA), experience with the Autoflow Bodyshop Management System, and manufacturer training would be advantageous but are non-essential to our client. Our client is also willing to consider applicants who are looking to progress from an Automotive Paint or Panel technician role. A UK driving licence with minimal points is essential, however.

What's in it for YOU? For your hard work as a Vehicle Damage Assessor, our client is offering:
  • Starting salary between £39,500-43,700 per annum pending experience.
  • 20 days' annual holiday allowance plus the 8 bank holidays.
  • Company pension scheme and health care provisions. 
  • Full in-house training provided. 
  • Audatex training if required. 
  • Fantastic long-term career development prospects with a long-established local business in South Wales.
  • Working hours are 8:00am-5:00pm Monday to Friday only.
