Summary
I’m a practical, detail-focused trades professional looking to move into a Trainee Vehicle Damage Assessor role. Much of my working life has involved inspecting work, spotting defects or damage, and deciding the best way to put things right. I’m used to making sensible repair decisions, estimating time and materials, and keeping clear records. Outside of work, I spend a lot of my spare time repairing and maintaining vehicles and anything with an engine, which has given me a strong, hands-on understanding of mechanical components and repairability. I’m reliable, keen to learn, and looking for a long-term role where I can be trained and progress into a qualified Vehicle Damage Assessor.
