What are the responsibilities and job description for the Auto Damage Appraisal Auditor position at NJM Insurance Group?
New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance Company (NJM) was founded in 1913 by a group of manufacturers seeking to provide cost-effective, safety conscious and financially secure workers' compensation insurance for their workers.

Today, NJM Insurance Group, is a leading mid-sized U.S. property and casualty insurance company with 90 consecutive years of A financial strength ratings by AM BEST.
