What will your day look like:

No two claims are the same. One day you could be assessing a major escape of water claim, and the next investigating structural damage or helping a business recover from a significant loss event.

You'll:

• Manage a portfolio of domestic and commercial property claims of varying complexity and value.
• Interpret and apply policy cover, terms and conditions to determine liability and settlement.
• Investigate property damage, identifying root causes and appropriate remedial actions.
• Assess claims involving fire, flood, subsidence, heave, landslip and other insured perils.
• Review contractors' estimates, repair scopes and technical reports.
• Negotiate fair and cost-effective settlements with all parties involved.
• Identify opportunities for recovery and pursue subrogation where appropriate.
• Conduct investigative interviews and gather supporting evidence to establish claim validity.
• Provide expert advice and support to customers, clients and colleagues.
• Ensure all claim files are accurately maintained and managed in line with service standards and regulatory requirements.
• Continuously seek innovative solutions that deliver the best outcome for both customers and clients.

Knowledge and Abilities:

You have a passion for claims, investigation and customer service. You're naturally curious, enjoy analysing complex situations and can confidently make decisions based on technical information and evidence.

You'll bring:

• Previous insurance claims or loss adjusting experience.
• Strong knowledge of domestic and commercial property claims.
• Excellent investigation, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to communicate technical information clearly and confidently.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
