As a Vehicle Damage Assessor, you will assess vehicle damage, oversee repairs, negotiate costs, and prepare reports while maintaining quality service.
About us
At Splend, we’re on a mission to fundamentally change the way people own and operate a vehicle. With a strategic focus on Rideshare, we provide our customers straight forward, no strings attached access to vehicle ownership.
But we aren’t just about vehicle ownership; We are also fast-tracking the transition to green mobility, and we are leading the way globally in reducing the carbon footprint of the transportation sector by transitioning our fleet to electric vehicles.
About the role
Looking to step away from being on the tools or constantly on the road — without leaving the industry you know inside out?
