We have a fantastic opportunity for a Building Consultant UK wide. You will manage a portfolio of domestic and commercial subsidence claims from notification to conclusion, requiring skills or qualifications in diagnosis, mitigation, and repairs.

• 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.
