  • Support claims through documentation, photographs, and expert insights during negotiations
  • Participate in joint inspections and adjuster meetings when required

Requirements

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in property damage estimating or a related construction field
  • Proficiency with Xactimate (REQUIRED)
  • Strong understanding of residential and/or commercial construction practices
  • Reliable vehicle and valid driver’s license (REQUIRED)
  • Ability and willingness to travel throughout the Tri-State area—and occasionally beyond
  • Excellent organizational and written communication skills
  • Professional, compassionate communicator — able to assist property owners during times of loss
  • Self-motivated, dependable, and detail-oriented

Experience

  • Field or site: minimum of 5 years
  • Advanced Microsoft Excel: 5 years
  • Cost Estimating: 5 years

Why Join United Public Adjusters?

  • Be part of a growing, respected firm that advocates for property owners
  • Meaningful work helping families and businesses recover from major losses
  • Supportive team environment with opportunities for growth
  • Competitive compensation based on experience ($90,000 - $130,000 annual range)
  • Medical benefits, paid holidays, and paid time off
  • Full-time
