Job Location: UK wide

Job Type: Permanent

Remuneration: Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Building Consultant UK wide.

You'll manage a portfolio of domestic and commercial subsidence claims from notification to conclusion, requiring skills or qualifications in diagnosis, mitigation, and repairs.

• Professional Qualifications: Working towards or have a chartered building professional qualification, e.g., MCIOB, MRICS, MICE, and ideally an insurance qualification, e.g., CILA or CII.
• Expertise: Comprehensive expertise in identifying and diagnosing structural defects and subsidence in buildings, understanding prevention methods to halt ongoing damage, and applying effective repair techniques, particularly for subsidence-related issues and drainage systems.
• Insurance Claims Handling: Experience in insurance claims handling is a plus, but training will be provided.
• Customer Service: Ability to make decisions, deliver excellent customer service, and communicate effectively with empathy.

The skills that will be developed once working:

• Comprehensive Training: You'll receive all the Sedgwick-specific training needed to excel in your role.
