IntroductionWe’re motivated by the fact that educators take care of our children’s future, and we believe they deserve someone to look after theirs. We help educators identify their financial goals and develop plans to achieve them. This includes insurance to protect what they have today and financial products to help them prepare for their future.

Overview

At Horace Mann, we're passionate about supporting educators and helping them recover quickly when the unexpected happens. We're seeking an experienced Field Appraiser to join our Auto Claims team and deliver an exceptional claims experience through technical expertise, outstanding customer service, and fair, accurate claim settlements.

  • Determine whether vehicles are repairable or meet state requirements for total loss designation.
  • Issue estimates, claim payments, and correspondence accurately and efficiently.

Technical Estimating & Negotiation

  • Utilize estimating software and vehicle inspections to prepare accurate repair estimates.
  • Audit repair facility estimates and negotiate agreed-upon repair costs that are fair and consistent with company standards.
  • Review supplemental damage claims to ensure repairs are related to the loss and settled appropriately.
  • Adhere to company guidelines regarding repair procedures, parts usage, discounts, and claims handling practices.
  • Provide technical expertise and professional guidance to customers, repair facilities, agents, and internal business partners.

Relationship Management

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with insureds, claimants, agents, repair facilities, and company personnel.
  • Represent Horace Mann professionally during customer and repair facility interactions.
  • Stay current on evolving industry repair standards, technology, laws, and regulations.

Requirements

  • Valid California driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain required state adjuster licenses.
  • Strong customer service and communication skills.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills.

Preferred

  • 5+ years of experience in auto body repair, collision estimating, body shop operations, or field appraising.
  • Experience with CCC estimating software.
  • I-CAR certification and/or body shop training.
  • Previous property damage claims experience.

Physical Requirements

  • Daily travel throughout the assigned territory.
