Role overview

This opportunity is suited to an experienced Motor Assessor, or to a skilled Panel Beater or Automotive Spray Painter who is ready to move off the tools and into an assessment-focused role. There are multiple openings across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers region.

What you’ll do

In this position, you’ll report to the Motor Assessing Manager and take ownership of vehicle repair assessments. The main focus is to make sure repairs are safe, financially sensible, and completed within a timely manner, while following company policies and guidelines.

This role suits someone who performs well in a busy, high-pressure environment and wants to grow with the business. Experience preparing damage repair quotes and estimates is preferred, though training will be provided.
