Join the UK’s largest repair group in this fantastic opportunity. We are looking for a Vehicle Damage Assessor at our busy workshop in Chelmsford. Ideally, you will understand vehicles and have knowledge of car parts. We have a small, family-feel team in Chelmsford with a great work ethic and lots of experience.
As part of a team of professionals, you will undertake the inspection of damaged vehicles, assessing the full extent of the damage, costs of repair, and timeframes. An important aspect of this job is to identify the correct prescribed repair method and prepare, record, and maintain records of electronic and manual estimates. You will then liaise effectively with insurance companies to obtain their authority to repair the vehicle at the costs estimated. You will also liaise with customers, engineers, and technicians to explain and ensure they understand the repair methodology.
In the role of Vehicle Damage Assessor, you will be responsible for assessing many different vehicles. This means keeping up to date with all repair methodologies and understanding different insurers' and manufacturers' literature and bulletins. Teamwork is essential, as you will work with colleagues in the bodyshop and across other functional areas. Your goal is to ensure we get their vehicle back on the road safely and quickly.
Ideally, you are qualified to ATA / IMI, preferably with Audatex experience and a solid background in Bodyshop operations. You will also require a full UK driving licence.
