We are growing every day.  Right now, we are looking for the perfect Mechanical Claims Adjuster to add to our incredible team.

In some ways, we are looking for a needle in a haystack.  A difference-maker.  Someone who is passionate and embodies unwavering reliability and exceptional communication skills.  Someone who excels in serving and supporting others while meeting deadlines.  They enjoy investigating, working independently and with others, and coaching teammates.

This person is trustworthy, approachable, disciplined, and eager to both learn and grow.  Lastly, we are looking for a person who is interested in being a part of something bigger than themselves.  Someone who is more interested in joining a family, not finding another job.
