  • Serve as an auto physical damage resource for the claims department.
  • Negotiate labor rates with repair facilities as part of the estimate review process.
  • Pro-actively manage the APD requests inbox.
  • Write desk estimates on repairable and total loss vehicles.
  • Run Salvage Pro-quotes for total loss vehicles.
  • Handle first-party auto claims of minimal complexity, such as comprehensive auto claims.
  • Appropriately manage claims through coverage analysis, investigation, reserving and resolution.
  • Identify and address coverage issues, complete investigation to determine cause and exposure, set timely reserves and develop detailed action plans.
  • Negotiate and convey claim settlements within authority limits.
  • Research and locate additional information and documentation to investigate, evaluate and properly resolve claims.
  • Pro-actively manage file inventory to ensure timely resolution of cases.
  • Deliver exceptional customer service to meet the needs of the insured, agent, and all internal and external customers.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications
What you need to have:
  • 5+ years Auto Physical Damage experience, including writing damage estimates.
  • Collaborative mindset, coordinating with adjusters and claims management on APD-related files, participating in CAT duty when needed, and assisting in auto claims assignments
  • Experience using CCC One Estimating software, Copart's platform, and Enterprise's ARMS system
  • Ability to write damage estimates
  • Proficiency in coverage analysis, investigation, reserving and claim resolution
  • Demonstrated customer service and collaboration skills
  • Incredible empathy and understanding of the needs of customers, both insureds and their agents, serving as a pro-active advocate for Berkley One customers and their brand experience.
