Pulse Bodyworks Ltd in Beckton E6 is looking for an experienced and proactive Bodyshop Administrator to join our growing accident repair centre.

This is not a standard receptionist role. We're looking for someone who understands the vehicle repair process and enjoys working in a fast-paced automotive environment.

Upload and maintain accurate repair information within our AutoFlow management system.
Prepare documentation, invoices and customer paperwork.
Answer telephone and email enquiries professionally.
Chase outstanding information from insurers, suppliers and customers.
Support the smooth day-to-day running of the bodyshop.

We're looking for someone who:

Has previous experience working within an accident repair centre, dealership, vehicle workshop or automotive business.
Has a good understanding of how vehicle accident repairs progress from estimate through to completion.

Is comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude AI or Microsoft Copilot as part of their daily work.
Has excellent customer service and communication skills.
Is highly organised and able to manage multiple jobs simultaneously.
