This is an exciting opportunity for an automotive enthusiast to join Manheim as a Vehicle Inspector. You'll have the chance to inspect a wide range of vehicles and travel to diverse locations around your hub area, making each day different and rewarding. As a Hub / Vehicle Inspector, you'll deliver high-quality and efficient vehicle inspection services to Manheim's customers, ensuring every inspection meets our industry-leading standards for accuracy, consistency, and customer experience. Based out of our Leeds location, you'll work closely with a team of drivers to plan your daily route and complete inspection appointments allocated by our scheduling team. You'll also help ensure drivers are supported in returning to the hub at the end of the day. There's no need to use your own vehicle-you'll be provided with a company pool vehicle and fuel card for all work-related travel. While previous experience is beneficial, it isn't essential. We've seen great success with individuals from roles such as body shop technicians, SMART repairers, and vehicle damage assessors. What matters most is having a keen eye for detail, a passion for vehicles, and an enjoyment of variety-meeting new people and visiting new locations every day.
