What are the responsibilities and job description for the 1099 Auto Estimator position at Accurate Claims Inc?
Accurate Claims Inc is a Multi-Line Claims investigation and adjusting agency that handles losses ranging from property/casualty to auto damages. Located in Green Bay, WI, our team of professionals have been servicing the 25 Northeastern counties since 1999. Since then, we've expanded south to Milwaukee and the Illinois border in 2023, we are now looking to expand west to the Wisconsin/Minnesota border. This would require a 1099 temp/contract individual who can handle processing auto claims throughout the Southwestern region.
The right candidate would be based in a centralized location to handle this region's volume in a mileage-efficient manner (preferably one based in or near La Crosse/Tomah) Please note that this is a contract based position, and the amount of volume may fluctuate based on local needs (ie, weather events in the area) If business does increase and maintain, it is a possibility to become a full time employee with 401k benefits and be first choice to the claims in the area.
The position would be a great fit for a body shop technician/estimator, or an auto claims estimator experienced individual looking to supplement their current income. The position is about 70%/5%/25% of driving/inspections/office work, respectively.
We use Mitchell Estimating software for all of of our auto claims, and FileTrac for our claims management system. We are currently working on getting CCC estimating as well to diversify our customer base. Estimating software knowledge of CCC and/or Mitchell is required, but FileTrac is NOT required.
Work times/days are flexible, as you see fit into your schedule. Current volume in the area for this position is more like a "side-gig" type of job, with a few claims in the area. However, as stated previous, weather related events may require more of your time to be able to inspect an influx of claims, as well as more volume through the acquisition of more carriers. (The acquisition of more carriers is NOT this position's responsibility)
***MVR, background checks and auto insurance verification will be performed for qualified candidates.***
