About The Role

As a Trainee Vehicle Assessor / Inspector, you'll carry out detailed inspections on vehicles arriving on site - checking their condition, identifying damage and ensuring accurate information is captured.

This is a hands-on, process-driven role where you will inspect around 15 vehicles per day, following clear guidelines and procedures. The work can be repetitive and structured, so it's perfect for someone who enjoys consistency, routine and working with precision.

What You'll Be Doing

• Conducting vehicle inspections using contract-specific guidelines.
• Recording and estimating damage beyond standard wear and tear.
• Capturing and uploading clear images to support transparency for customers.
• Working closely with your team to meet daily inspection targets.
• Maintaining focus and accuracy in a repetitive, process-driven environment.

What We're Looking For

• Experience working in a structured, process-led or compliance-driven environment.
• A keen eye for detail and knowledge of vehicle components across cars and commercial vehicles is desirable, but we're open to candidates who are willing to develop in this area.
• An understanding of repair methods and an ability to assess suitable solutions would be advantageous.
• The ability to follow set procedures accurately and efficiently.
• Good communication and basic computer skills.
• A reliable team player with a positive attitude and strong time management skills.
• Whilst previous experience of working within the automotive sector is advantageous, it isn't essential - we'll provide full training. What really matters is that you're dependable when it comes to attendance and getting the job done to a high standard.
