  • 40-hour week: 8:00am-5:00pm Monday to Friday with some flexibility on start/finish times. 
  • Fantastic long-term 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.

Duties
  • 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 for this position, you will hold strong and successful experience in vehicle estimating and ideally be Audatex trained/qualified.

A UK driving licence with minimal points would be mandatory.

  • Negotiable starting salary plus access to an uncapped performance-related bonus scheme providing an on-target earnings of £40,000+ per annum.
  • Overtime, subject to availability, paid at standard rate. 
  • 23 days annual leave plus the 8 bank holidays and your birthday off.
