Job description

Overview

As a Quality Control Inspector, you will be responsible for performing detailed quality control checks on all vehicles, ensuring they meet both our high internal standards and the specific requirements of each customer contract. Working across three key quality control stages, you will play a vital role in maintaining the consistency, quality, and readiness of every vehicle as it moves through the refurbishment process.

Wyton — £30,812 — 40 hours a week (Monday - Friday) with optional overtime available as and when required. Manheim Vehicle Services, part of the Cox Automotive Group, is a dynamic and fast-moving part of our business, delivering expert support across customer de-fleet programs, multiple remarketing channels, and full vehicle preparation - from wholesale through to retail-ready. We pride ourselves on being agile and responsive, managing a wide range of customer needs with precision and care. Our team carries out detailed cosmetic inspections, oversees the authorisation process, and ensures every vehicle meets both contractual and customer-specific standards before hitting the market. It's all about getting vehicles sale-ready - and done right, every time.

What You'll Be Doing

• Understand and correctly apply the standards for each customer contract.
• Meet daily targets for moving vehicles through the refurbishment process and identify/escalate any delays.
• Spot and report any sub-standard repairs, maintaining the integrity of our processes.
• Make clear, confident decisions – recognising both when a repair meets standards and when it does not.

What We're Looking For

• Experience working within strict regulations and procedures.
• Exceptional eye for detail and quality.
• Strong understanding of vehicle repairs and the desired outcomes.
• Knowledge of both car and commercial vehicle components.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Ability to adapt to new and evolving technology.
• Proactive, flexible, and able to quickly react to change.
• Team player, committed to achieving departmental goals.
• Strong time management and organisational skills, with the ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines.

Benefits and Inclusion

• Cashback offers and a peer-to-peer recognition scheme.
• Option to buy additional holiday days; your birthday off every year - paid; one annual Well-Being Day; one paid Charity Day.
• Opportunities for career progression across the Cox Automotive network.
• Competitive pension scheme.
• We are committed to inclusion. We are proud to be an inclusive and equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity in all its forms. We are a place where you can be you.
