A day in the life of a CAT Outside Adjuster, and what it takes to do the job:

As a Catastrophe Field Adjuster, you'll be responsible for meeting with customers across the country to investigate, negotiate and settle moderately complex vehicle damage (which may include automobiles, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, recreational vehicles, and boats), or flood claims, when our customers are involved in a catastrophic event.

Your daily tasks will include driving to the impacted areas, conducting inspections, evaluating policies and endorsements for coverage, preparing estimates in CCC One and occasionally Mitchell estimating programs, and settling claims on site with customers.

This role follows a 10-day on and 4-day off schedule, with 12-hour workdays throughout the year. Expect to travel at least 50% of the time to perform inspections.

In instances where travel is not possible or weather conditions do not permit on-site inspections, you will handle claims remotely through the ClaimsX Video Collaboration platform.

Preferred Qualifications:

Previous experience as an outside adjuster is highly desired.
Proficiency in using CCC one, Mitchell and other relevant software for estimating.
Strong critical thinking and technical skills to assess damages accurately and expedite claims settlements.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to provide exceptional customer service.
Proficient knowledge in paintless dent repair, specifically Hailgrids
Negotiate repair times and techniques with repair facilities for multiple types of losses
Ability to travel to customers' homes and handle claims countrywide.
Detailoriented and organized, with a focus on delivering highquality work.
Valid driver's license and willingness to travel as part of the job requirements.

You'll wear a few hats to fill a few roles throughout your day that all require a level of experience.

4 year Bachelors Degree (preferred)
2 or more years of experience (preferred)
I-CAR Certification (preferred)
In lieu of the above education requirements, an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.
