- Lidcombe | Full-time
- Leading national insurer | Property claims focus
- Competitive salary + bonus + benefits
MAYDAY is proud to be partnering with a leading national insurance organisation experiencing strong growth across its property claims division. We’re looking for a Desktop Home Assessor to join a high-performing team responsible for assessing and managing home insurance claims end-to-end using virtual tools.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a building, estimating or trades background who wants to step into a corporate environment while still using their technical knowledge in a meaningful way.
About the Role
In this role, you’ll manage a portfolio of home insurance claims from lodgement through to settlement, using desktop assessment tools and expert reports to determine scope, cost and repair outcomes.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Conducting desktop assessments of property damage using virtual tools and supplier reports
- Determining cause of damage, policy coverage and appropriate repair methods
- Preparing accurate scopes of works and cost estimates
- Reviewing builder and supplier quotes to ensure value, accuracy and timeliness
- Managing end-to-end claims outcomes within agreed SLAs
- Delivering a strong customer experience during what is often a stressful time
- Working closely with builders, suppliers, repairers and internal claims teams
About You
You’ll bring a practical, hands-on understanding of building or construction and be comfortable working in a fast-paced claims environment.
You’ll have:
- Experience in building, estimating, construction, or insurance assessing (trade background highly regarded)
- Strong understanding of residential building practices and repair methods
- Ability to interpret scopes, quotes and technical reports
- Strong attention to detail and sound decision-making skills
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management ability
- A customer-first mindset with resilience and empathy
Why This Role?
- Step into a stable, growing national insurer with strong career pathways
- Hybrid working and modern desktop assessment tools
- Strong training and onboarding for non-insurance backgrounds
- Clear development pathway into senior assessing or technical claims roles
- Supportive, collaborative team culture
This is a great entry point into insurance for someone who knows how homes are built but wants to move away from site-based work. You’ll still use your technical expertise, just in a smarter, more flexible way.
