You will lead and manage various projects to restore properties damaged by insured perils, with values ranging from £50k to £5m. Depending on the project's size and complexity, you may work alone or lead a small team with our QSs, CAD technicians, and engineers.

You must empathise with clients who have suffered loss or bereavement and deliver professional reports within tight deadlines.
