Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator - Gloucester.
  • Salary: Between £42-45,000+ per annum, pending experience, plus uncapped bonuses.
  • Hours: 40-hour week: 8:00am-5:00pm Monday to Friday with some flexibility on start/finish times. 
  • Benefits: Enhanced annual leave allowance, retailer discounts, salary sacrifice car scheme, industry-leading training, and fantastic career prospects with one of the UK’s largest comprehensive automotive accident repairers.
Our client, one of the UK’s largest comprehensive automotive accident repairers, is currently looking to recruit a Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator to join their busy centre in Gloucester.  Reporting to the Bodyshop Manager, as a Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator, your main purpose will be to carry out estimates as specified by insurers/customers, ensuring that the vehicle repair can be carried out efficiently and that, by doing so, a satisfactory profit margin can be generated.
  • 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. Alternatively, communicate with 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.
In order to be eligible for this position, you will have strong and successful experience in vehicle estimating and ideally be Audatex trained/qualified. An Automotive Technical Accreditation (ATA), experience with the Autoflow Bodyshop Management System, and manufacturer training would be advantageous, but are non-essential to our client. A UK driving licence with minimal points would be mandatory. 

What's in it for you? For your hard work as a Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator, our client is offering:
  • Starting salary between £42-45,000+ per annum, pending experience
  • Access to uncapped performance-related bonuses, paid monthly. 
  • Overtime, subject to availability, paid at standard rate. 
  • 23 days annual leave plus the 8 bank holidays and your birthday off. 
  • Guaranteed average bonus when you're on holiday. 
  • Various additional benefits, including a cycle to work scheme, pension scheme, life assurance, retailer discounts, and a generous salary sacrifice car scheme, amongst others. 
  • Access to industry-leading training and development.
  • Fantastic long-term career prospects/job security with a large multi-site business that is itself part of a larger company. 
  • 40-hour week: 8:00am-5:00pm Monday to Friday with some flexibility on start/finish times.
