Subsidence Desk Technician (Remote)

Location: Remote

The Opportunity:

An exciting opportunity for a Subsidence Desk Technician has arisen to join a well established and growing loss adjusting business that specialises in property claims. With expertise spanning property, subsidence, liability and major loss, the business has built an excellent reputation across the insurance industry and offers outstanding opportunities for technical development and career progression.

Whilst the role sits within the specialist Subsidence team, the business has a much broader focus across property claims, offering excellent long term career opportunities within technical claims handling and loss adjusting. You will be joining a supportive and collaborative team where ongoing development is encouraged, with opportunities to broaden your technical expertise and progress your career as your experience grows.

Managing a portfolio of subsidence claims from instruction through to conclusion, you will work closely with policyholders, insurers, surveyors, engineers and contractors, developing specialist knowledge of buildings, property damage and insurance claims, whilst delivering an excellent customer experience throughout.

• Providing support to the Subsidence Team and wider business.
• Developing a strong technical knowledge of subsidence claims and applying policy cover, terms and conditions appropriately.
• Undertaking triage calls to identify valid subsidence claims and determine whether site investigations are required.
• Preparing and completing reports within agreed service level agreements (SLAs).
• Maintaining high standards of written and verbal communication with internal and external stakeholders.
• Processing claims in line with insurer requirements, standards, service levels and complaints procedures.
• Proactively progressing claims through to resolution.
• Reviewing claims, processing amendments and maintaining accurate records within the claims management system.
• Responding positively to changing client requirements and wider business needs.
• Providing a high level of customer service throughout the claims process.

• Good IT skills, including experience using claims management systems and Microsoft Office.
• Professional qualifications such as Cert CII, Cert CILA, BDMA, or similar insurance-related qualifications would be advantageous, although these are not essential and support will be provided to candidates looking to work towards professional qualifications.
