# Pre Delivery Inspection Manager – Automotive – Al-Futtaim Group

Al-Futtaim Automotive, whose automotive operations employ roughly 9,000 colleagues across the group, is hiring a Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) Manager in Abu Dhabi. PDI is the quality gate that sits right before a new vehicle reaches a customer — the last structured check that everything on the car is exactly as it should be before handover.

The role involves overseeing the PDI process end to end: managing the team that performs vehicle pre-delivery checks, setting and enforcing inspection standards, investigating and resolving quality issues found during inspection, and coordinating with sales and logistics teams so vehicle handover timelines stay on track without compromising on quality. It’s a hands-on operational leadership role, not a desk-based QA position — expect to be on the workshop floor regularly.

It suits an experienced automotive operations or quality professional who’s comfortable managing a technical team against clear standards, with the judgment to balance thoroughness against the commercial pressure of getting vehicles delivered on time. Prior experience managing PDI, workshop, or vehicle preparation teams in a dealership or distributor environment is the most direct route into this kind of role.

## Requirements

- Experience managing a PDI, vehicle preparation, or workshop quality team in an automotive environment

- Strong technical understanding of vehicle inspection standards and common quality issues

- Proven people management experience, including setting standards and coaching technicians

- Ability to balance quality thoroughness against delivery timelines under commercial pressure

- Good cross-functional coordination with sales and logistics teams

- Comfortable working hands-on in a workshop environment, not purely from a desk
