About The Role

Our estimators are generally first on site to assist our clients with damage and loss from insurance events. As such the role is critical in setting our insured's expectations and "winning the customer".

The Estimator will oversee accurately preparing and submitting causation reports, quotations, budget estimates, and building repair scopes while collaborating closely with the Department Manager and the direct/EOL teams including project coordinators and supervisors, therefore it calls for a capable applicant with extensive knowledge of both construction and insurance industries.

7. Determining policy coverage in accordance with client agreements
8. Write scope of works and associated reports to KPI deadline
9. Liaising with client, customer and Claims Coordinators with any SOW or report related queries
10. Liaising with internal teams to book in trade attendances (subcontractors and/or specialists)
11. Maintaining an awareness of SLA (service level agreement) and KPIs
12. Conduct risk assessments on the potential high risk and hazardous components of each project

Key Professional Skills:

1. Face to face customer service
2. Empathy for insured's loss
3. Self-starting
4. Communication skills and ability to set expectations
5. Organisational abilities to liaise on multiple files at any one time
6. Multi-tasking with the ability to triage and prioritise accordingly
7. Attention to detail and pride in your work
8. Knowledge of building regulations and Australian codes and standards
9. Construction knowledge including processes and pricing
10. KPI driven and task focused
11. Software Knowledge: Crunchworks is highly desirable
12. Full Driving license is essential
13. Training and ongoing career development will be provided as required.
