• Submit estimates, supplements, photos, and supporting documentation through Analysis or carrier portals.

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve approval rates and reduce delays or underpayments.

Claims & Project Support

• Support the full claims lifecycle from initial scope through approval and final billing.

• Collaborate with contractors and internal teams to ensure scopes reflect real field conditions.

• Track claim status, approvals, supplements, and outstanding items.

• Assist with invoicing accuracy and documentation needed for payment release.

Client Communication

• Provide clear updates to internal stakeholders or homeowners regarding claim status and next steps.

• Flag coverage gaps, exclusions, or risks early to avoid downstream issues.

• Maintain organized claim files and documentation for audit readiness.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to defend estimates logically and professionally.

• Comfortable working remotely with U.S.-based teams and deadlines.

Preferred (Nice to Have)

• Background in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or related field.

• Experience with XactAnalysis, Claims Connect, or Symbility.

• Prior work with U.S. restoration companies or insurance carriers.

Why This Role
