About the Role
As an Auto Appraiser for Catastrophic Loss, your primary purpose is to inspect, identify, and evaluate auto vehicles involved in a loss. You will appraise and determine costs of repairs to damaged vehicles in the field, deciding between repair versus replace and determining parts utilization. Using industry-standard estimatics software, you will evaluate whether a vehicle is repairable or salvageable and prepare estimates accordingly.
This role involves traveling to inspection locations to appraise vehicles in the field and working directly with auto repair facilities to determine supplemental repair processing and provide supplemental estimates. You will manage daily appraisal volume within your assigned home territory, demonstrating strong time management, autonomy, and adherence to productivity and quality standards.
Catastrophe Deployment Expectations
Prior catastrophe (CAT) appraisal experience is a strong plus for this position. The role may require deployment in support of CAT operations, particularly during peak summer months. Deployments can involve extensive travel, extended work hours, and temporary relocation based on business needs. During non-CAT periods, colleagues are expected to consistently manage daily appraisal volume within their assigned home territory.

If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, consider applying for it anyway.
