Our client, a family-run independent automotive accident repair centre based in the East Bristol region, is currently looking to recruit a Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator to join their business.
As a Vehicle Damage Assessor/Estimator, your main purpose will be:
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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. Alternatively, communicate with the Bodyshop if, by agreement with the insurance company, the vehicle is deemed a “total loss”.

8. Starting salary between £40-48,000 per annum, negotiable pending experience.
