Join us as an ATA Vehicle Damage Assessor / Estimator at our busy workshop in Leamington.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced

Vehicle Damage Assessor

to join the UK's leading Accident and Collision Repair specialist in our busy site in Leamington.


As a valued member of a professional team, you will be responsible for inspecting damaged vehicles and conducting thorough assessments to determine the full extent of the damage, repair costs, and projected timeframes. A key part of this role involves identifying the correct manufacturer-prescribed repair methods and accurately preparing, recording, and maintaining both electronic and manual estimates.

In this dynamic role, you will assess a wide variety of vehicles, which requires staying up to date with evolving repair techniques, insurance requirements, and manufacturer guidelines and bulletins.

Ideally you are qualified to

NVQ level 3/City & Guilds or ATA / IMI qualified with a solid Bodyshop background
