This is a true insurance claims adjusting role, not an HR, benefits, safety, consulting, or administrative position. Candidates must have direct experience investigating, evaluating, reserving, negotiating, and resolving claims as an adjuster or adjuster supervisor within a carrier, TPA, or similar claims environment.

When we hire adjusters at CCMSI, we look for professionals who understand that every claim represents a real person’s livelihood, take ownership of outcomes, and see challenges as opportunities to solve problems.

• Coordinate and supervise outside vendor activities (e.g., legal, case management, surveillance).

• Evaluate subrogation opportunities and oversee recovery efforts.

• Prepare detailed status reports on claim activity, payments, and reserves as requested.

• Communicate effectively with clients, claimants, and other involved parties throughout the claims process.

• Attend hearings, mediations, and conferences as required.

• Maintain diary notes, documentation, and reports in accordance with compliance and audit standards.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).

Preferred:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
