Department: Claims Management
Location: Preston
Description
Due to continued growth and success, GBB has an exciting opportunity for a Forensic Vehicle Fire Investigator to join our team.
What will your day look like:
This home-based, full-time role involves:
1. Travelling to and from storage compounds or the location of fire-damaged vehicles.
2. Conducting thorough, forensic vehicle examinations, capturing important details and photographs.
3. Using the results of inspection in conjunction with other evidence to determine the likely origin and cause of vehicle fires.
4. Producing independent, technical reports that accurately present and interpret the evidence in a manner easily understandable by a layperson, insurer, lawyer, or court.
5. Working in full compliance with civil procedure rules.
6. Liaising with barristers/legal teams and giving expert witness testimony in court where required.
A Level 5 (HND) qualification in an engineering subject and previous vehicle fire investigation experience/qualification is ideal. However, some training is available, so candidates who can demonstrate a high level of experience in motor mechanical investigations are also encouraged to apply.
Knowledge and Abilities:
Principally, you must be well-organised, motivated, capable of working autonomously, possess an aptitude for problem-solving, and have excellent written and verbal skills. A driving licence and a willingness to travel are essential.
We would be particularly interested to hear from candidates located around the South Midlands/South East areas.
