Steer Commercial is part of the Steer Automotive Group – one of the UK’s leading accident repair networks. We’re growing, investing, and modernising the way commercial vehicles are repaired, and we’re looking for skilled people who want to be part of that journey.
If you take pride in accuracy, enjoy problem-solving, and want to work in a fast-paced, forward-thinking environment where quality truly matters, this could be the role for you.

You’ll assess a wide range of Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) across all manufacturers, body types, and builds, using Audatex to produce precise and professional estimates.
You’ll work closely with workshop teams, insurers, engineers, and customers – playing a key role in keeping repairs moving smoothly and delivering an excellent customer experience.

17. Liaising confidently with insurers, engineers, and customers to agree authorisations
18. Ensuring all documentation and estimates are completed accurately and on time
19. Playing a key role in delivering a smooth, professional repair journey
20. Living and promoting our values of excellence, innovation, and integrity
What We’re Looking For
21. Experienced Vehicle Damage Assessor (ATA or NVQ/IMI qualified preferred)
22. Strong knowledge of LCV and/or HGV vehicles (training available where needed)
23. Confident user of Audatex estimating systems
24. High attention to detail with a structured, methodical approach
25. Strong communication skills and a team-focused mindset
26. Ability to thrive in a busy, fast-moving workshop environment
27. A genuine commitment to quality and continuous improvement
What We Offer
28. Ongoing training and professional development opportunities
29. Access to the latest tools, systems, and industry innovations
30. A supportive working environment focused on teamwork, respect, and continuous improvement
31. Real career progression across a growing, national business with a reputation for excellence
