This role is for somebody who wants to step off the tools and be the one signing off the repair, helping customers get back on the road when life hasn't gone to plan.
You'll inspect vehicles, scope the damage, review quotes and make the call on what's fair and reasonable.
Some days you'll be out on the road assessing vehicles.
Other times you'll be back home reviewing estimates, writing reports and progressing claims.
It's still a full 38-hour week and the days can be busy, moving between assessments, customers and repairers.
But compared to life in the workshop, it's a different pace and easier on the body long term.
Many Assessors also choose a 9-day fortnight and split their time between on-road inspections and desktop work from home.
Training starts with
three
weeks at our Chermside office
learning how our repair model and policies work, travel covered.
After that you'll return home, shadow experienced Assessors and gradually build into your own portfolio.
