Established in 2009, G3 Remarketing is one of the UK’s fastest growing vehicle remarketing and disposal  management specialists.

With a purpose-built industry leading facility opened in 2021, the business continues to reshape the expectations of physical and online auctions. Combined with a totally new operational platform and client interfaces, G3 will become the benchmark for all other independent auction businesses throughout the UK and   Europe.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Auctioneer to join a growing team of auctioneers within the physical and online remarketing space, offering 1,000 vehicles every week from our industry-leading auctioneer halls.  As a customer-facing representative of the business, it is important that the candidate maintains our high standards whilst always leveraging the G3 values of customer engagement.

The Position

Overview

The candidate will be responsible for offering vehicles as a live auctioneer for sale via physical and digital sales channels at G3 events.  Based at the G3 Castleford branch, the role of an auctioneer on the rostrum at G3 is to achieve the maximum hammer value and conversion rates for vehicles offered on behalf of a roster of vendors.  This will include pre-sale, provisional and post-sale bid management in order to maximize performance for each sale event.

Key to the role will be establishing and nurturing relationships with both buyers and vendors, including non-sale day engagement and a ‘meet & greet’ mindset on sale days, alongside buyer and vendor entertainment events where relevant.

Auctioneers are expected to have an excellent knowledge of vehicles and know what is to be offered in their sales.  A keen interest in the current market and trends in order to predict performance and manage vendor expectations is also a must.

Responsibilities will include;

• Manage the sale event from the rostrum for a daily sale schedule
• Generate proxy bids and sale attendance with pre-sale buyer engagement alongside the marketing, sales and buyer services teams
• Liaise with vendors in the run-up to sales and on the sale day to represent G3
• Maximise bids during the sale with buyer and vendor engagement
• Negotiate and convert provisional bids post-sale
• Seek bids and convert non-sold vehicles post-sale
• Build relationships with buyers of all sizes throughout the week, including reaching out to new account prospects, growing existing buyer accounts and re-engaging with lapsed buyers
• Provide support to the sales and buyer services team with vehicle disputes and paths to resolution where required
• Provide daily valuation support for both vendors and internal account management teams, ensuring accurate prices are provided pre-sale and reviewed within agreed tolerances post-sale.
• Complete all pre-sale vehicle walks to maximise vehicle knowledge before auction commencement
• Provide regular weekly market insights (both internal and external) in relation to market trends and conditions including competitor analysis
