Identify key factors, causality, and policy coverage issues in flood, wildfire, and other real property claims.
Document methodology, findings, and supporting rationale in clear, concise written reports with high attention to detail.
Collaborate with project coordinators to align on deliverable requirements and feedback processes.
Offer nuanced insights and domain-specific commentary to help enhance AI-driven tools and workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

Minimum 5+ years of professional experience in desk adjusting, coverage analysis, or restoration estimating for property damage claims.
Demonstrated expertise with Xactimate and restoration costing processes.
Proven track record of evaluating and documenting complex losses, with an emphasis on flood and wildfire claims.
Strong understanding of insurance policy coverage application and property claim best practices.
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey technical findings to diverse audiences.
