FULL DESCRIPTION

Desk Based Subsidence Engineer

Are you ready to take ownership of a varied and impactful caseload, helping homeowners and businesses navigate the challenges of subsidence-related insurance claims? Join our expert team and play a key role in delivering fair, efficient, and technically robust claim outcomes.

Working from a fully supported home-based environment, you’ll act as a trusted advisor, coordinating investigations, solutions, and communication between all key stakeholders.
