$70,000-$75,000 Base + Performance Incentive | Melbourne, VIC

👋 About Cars24

Cars24 is one of the world's leading AutoTech companies and Australia's largest online pre-loved car dealership. Backed by an A$4.7B global unicorn with operations across three continents, we are transforming how Australians buy and sell cars, and we are growing fast.

Our Melbourne operation is scaling rapidly across key growth corridors in the city's south-east, and we are looking for an experienced Vehicle Inspector to own the territory and help us source quality cars directly from customers.

🚀 The Role

As a Vehicle Inspector at Cars24, you are the face of our customer-sourcing operation on the ground. You will travel across Melbourne's south-east, attending pre-booked appointments to inspect, assess and value customer vehicles on behalf of Cars24.

This is a field-based, autonomous role with a clear performance incentive tied to your output. You will be based around Dandenong and cover a high-volume territory spanning Dandenong-Frankston, Pakenham, Mornington and Bayside. Our team provides you with a pre-booked lead pipeline, so there is no cold outreach — your focus is entirely on quality inspections and a great customer experience.
