- Champion green parts and innovative solutions to minimise vehicle downtime
- Show a willingness to mentor and upskill team members, sharing your body shop knowledge to create a more informed and capable team
- Assist all areas of the Vehicle Operations Team when required, this may involve vehicle insurance, hire vehicle management and arranging vehicle recalls etc.
What you'll need...
- An understanding of the current challenges in the fleet industry
- Experience working in either a body shop, workshop, incident management/insurance company or fleet company.
- Confident liaising with drivers to de-escalate situations and have a ‘phone-first’ approach
- Hold partners/dealers and manufacturers accountable for agreed SLAs
- Knowledge of vehicle repair processes and associated supply chains
- A strong ability to analyse repair estimates and identify potential cost discrepancies or unjustified expenses is preferable
- Experience working independently and as part of a close-knit team
- A curious and keen-eye for detail to spot areas of improvement - we love hearing ideas!
- To be a natural finisher and an effective operator - you leave no loose ends in your path
