Description
At Carma, we’re more than just a car company, we’re on a mission to shake up the Australian automotive industry! As a digital pre‑owned car dealership, we’re turning the car buying (and selling!) experience into a hassle‑free, seamless journey that customers can truly enjoy. With our diverse and collaborative team managing everything from engineering to marketing and buying to reconditioning in‑house, we’re powered by the best people and we’d love for you to come along for the ride!
Are you the go to person your friends call when they need help buying a car? Maybe you’re the type who spends weekends tinkering under the hood, rebuilding your pride and joy just for fun. Inspectors at Carma are the experts on the ground, meticulously assessing vehicles and their condition, noting findings, negotiating pre‑qualified deals, and ensuring Carma buys the very best cars! We’re now looking for our newest Automotive Inspector to join the team, helping us buy the best cars across the Newcastle and Central Coast area, and it could be you!
What you'll be doing:
* Hitting the road to inspect customer cars, giving each car a thorough once‑over from bumper to bonnet.
* Keeping sellers in the loop with updates on your arrival, making the process smooth and stress‑free.
* Following the step‑by‑step inspection process, matching what you see in person with what’s been reported, ensuring every detail aligns perfectly.
* Using your negotiation skills to agree on prices that work for both Carma and the seller – sealing the deal on the spot!
* Capturing every detail on our system (you’ll have a laptop to use), from inspection results to compliance docs and photos, so nothing gets missed.
Okay, let's talk about you:
* You have an interest or love of all things automotive and you’re the go to car expert among your friends!
* You have sharp attention to detail, ensuring no scratch or sound goes unnoticed.
* You’re experienced adapting to different customers, whether they’re car buffs or just parting ways with an old ride, you’ll always be able to read the room and adapt.
* You have a knack for negotiating deals that make everyone happy.
* You’re motivated to work independently and take ownership of your results, as you’ll often be on the road working solo.
* You enjoy following a process and suggesting improvements as you go.
* A valid NSW driver’s licence.
* Flexibility to work a rotating roster, including every second Saturday.
What's in it for you?
* Jump into a fast growing, collaborative crew where your ideas actually make waves!
* Structured training, hands on support, and clear progression so you’re never standing still
* Sweet perks because, well, we’re a car business so $$ off Carma cars, parts, and NRMA cover to rev up your ride!
At Carma, we’re all about fostering an amazing culture, where you can bring your best self to work! We value collaboration, innovation and having a laugh at work. Plus, we’re committed to diversity, inclusion and safe work practices, so no matter your background or experience (or car brand of choice!) we’d love to hear from you. Please let us know if you need any reasonable adjustments during the interview process.
