- Interpret and apply policy cover, terms and conditions to determine liability and settlement.
- Investigate property damage, identifying root causes and appropriate remedial actions.

- 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.

You'll bring:
- Previous insurance claims or loss adjusting experience.
