Our client, a specialist within automotive services, is looking for an experienced VDA to join their desktop engineering team. This is a great opportunity to join a company with a strong reputation for technical excellence and a genuine commitment to the development of its people.

The Opportunity

This is a pure desktop role, so no site visits or field work - you'll be assessing damage, making engineering decisions, and managing costs entirely remotely.

Making repair vs. total loss determinations using your own engineering judgement
Establishing repair methods in line with manufacturer and Thatcham standards
Reviewing and challenging estimates 
Authorising repairs within agreed SLA timelines
Conducting vehicle valuations and assigning salvage categories in line with the ABI Code of Practice
Negotiating costs and settlements with repairers and other stakeholders
About You

Proven experience in motor engineering - desktop experience preferred but not essential
Hands-on knowledge of estimating platforms
Solid understanding of Thatcham methodology and manufacturer repair standards
Commercially aware with a focus on cost control
Able to manage a varied case-load independently and hit SLA and KPI targets consistently
Strong communicator, confident negotiating with repairers and stakeholders at all levels
Credentials
