  • Access to labour turnover-related bonus scheme of up to £300-350 per month. 
  • Monday to Friday, 7:00am-4:00pm.
  • Opportunity to work in a growing business with a brand new facility! 
Our client, an independent automotive accident repair centre in Cardiff, is currently looking to recruit an experienced and professional Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator to join their business.

Reporting to the Bodyshop Manager, 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.

Other duties include:
  • 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 understand fully 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.
In order to be eligible, you will hold strong and successful experience in vehicle estimating and ideally be Audatex trained/qualified.
