- Repair & Quality Control: Oversee coordination of vehicle repairs; review and approve workshop quotes to ensure fair pricing and quality workmanship.
- Timeline Management: Monitor the process from auction win to shipping yard clearance, eliminating bottlenecks.
- Vendor & Workshop Relations: Build and maintain strong relationships with trusted mechanics, repair centers, and official inspection bodies.
- Problem Solving: Act as the escalation point when a vehicle fails inspection or requires unexpected, high-cost repairs.
Qualifications & Requirements

- Proven experience managing, motivating, and organizing a team in a fast-paced environment.
- Familiarity with automotive pre-shipping inspection standards and export/import compliance.
- Ability to evaluate repair estimates and understand basic automotive mechanics to prevent overpaying.
