Experienced Estimators: Your Performance Should Pay

Kaizen Collision Center is hiring experienced Collision Repair Estimators at multiple locations throughout Colorado.

We’re growing, our shops are busy, and we’re looking for experienced estimators who can do more than write a repair plan.

We’re looking for estimators who know how to sell.

You know how to build trust with a customer, explain the repair process, overcome objections, capture the job, write a complete repair plan, and keep that repair moving from vehicle check-in through final delivery.

If you’re a proven producer who knows your numbers and wants an opportunity where your performance can directly impact your earning potential, Kaizen wants to talk with you.

Compensation

Up to 6% commission with the opportunity to earn $200,000 annually.

Compensation is based on experience, production, performance, and the applicable compensation plan.

What You’ll Do

  • Sell collision repair services and convert estimates into repair opportunities
  • Build trust and strong relationships with customers
  • Write complete and accurate repair plans using industry estimating software
  • Perform detailed vehicle inspections and damage analysis
  • Blueprint repairs and identify hidden damage
  • Prepare and manage supplements
  • Communicate effectively with insurance companies and adjusters
  • Explain repair recommendations and procedures to customers

  • Coordinate with technicians, painters, parts personnel, and production teams
  • Monitor repairs and proactively address delays
  • Maintain accurate documentation throughout the repair process
  • Help achieve sales, production, cycle-time, quality, and customer satisfaction goals

Ideal candidates will have:

  • Proven collision repair estimating experience

This Opportunity Is for Proven Producers

This is not an entry-level estimating position.

We’re looking for collision professionals who understand that being a successful estimator requires more than knowing how to write a sheet.

You know how to sell the repair.

You know how to keep it moving.

And you understand that every customer interaction, repair plan, supplement, and production decision impacts the success of the shop.

If you’re currently producing at a high level and want to join a growing collision repair organization where your performance can translate into $200,000 earning potential, we want to hear from you.
