What are the responsibilities and job description for the 1099 Auto Estimator position at Accurate Claims Inc?
Intro to the ACI!
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.
Hello?... Is it you that we are looking for?
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 Madison/Janesville) The canidate would be covering all claims west of Madison and South of Tomah. to Illinois state line and Minnesota state line. 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. We are currently working on getting CCC estimating as well to diversify our customer base. *Estimating software knowledge of CCC or Mitchell is required.
A day in the life of...an Auto Estimator!
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. (Note: The acquisition of more carriers is NOT this position's responsibility, but will affect the volume of this position if/when acquired)
***MVR, background checks and auto insurance verification will be performed for qualified candidates.***
What are the responsibilities?
- Travel to/from loss inspection locations (mileage reimbursed at federal rate currently at .70/mile)
- Performing physical damage inspections, photographing, and documenting utilizing a combination of your smartphone/tablet/high quality digital camera and your home office PC. It is possible to use just a tablet/laptop to the right tech-savvy individual - photos will need to be uploaded to a web-based program, and estimate will need to be written in this program (Mitchell Estimating).
- Coordinating repairs with body shops, if/as required, negotiating pricing
- Accurately compiling and completing necessary paperwork with strong attention to detail in creating preliminary estimates of damages
- Handling of supplement requests
- Contacting and scheduling with clients to inspect their vehicle, whether that may be at their home, work, acquaintance's house, etc
