- Lidar Floor Plans: Convert 3D LiDAR scans, photos, field scope sheets, and floor plans into clean Xactimate room sketches (including sloped ceilings, openings, and cabinet structures).
- Pricing & Price List Updates: Apply correct regional price lists, labor minimums, equipment pricing, and line-item components.
- Supplements: Draft detailed supplemental scopes when hidden damage or scope changes occur on site.
2. Claims Coordination & Adjuster Management
- Estimate Approvals: Submit completed estimates to insurance adjusters via email or carrier portals and aggressively follow up to obtain scope agreement.
- Negotiation & Justification: Defend line items, equipment counts, drying logs, and code-compliance requirements to adjusters.
- Payment Tracking: Follow up weekly with insurance carriers to ensure check issuance, mortgage endorsements, and claim payouts.
3. Customer Communication & Accounts Receivable
- Client Touchpoints: Communicate professionally with homeowners to keep them updated on scope submissions,
adjuster approval status, and deductible payments.
- Collections: Follow up politely but firmly with property owners for final invoice payments and self-pay balances.
- Scope Clarifications: Explain scope limitations, content cleaning protocols, and insurance deductible responsibilities to customers.
Required Qualifications & Skills
- Xactimate Proficiency: Minimum 2+ years of hands-on experience drafting Xactimate estimates (Level 1 or Level 2 certification is a strong plus).
- Industry Knowledge: Solid understanding of IICRC S500/S520 guidelines, water mitigation equipment ratios (dehumidifiers, air movers, HEPA scrubbers), and general residential construction trades.
- Sketching Experience: Demonstrated ability to translate Lidar 3D models and point-cloud scans into accurate 2D/3D Xactimate sketches.
- Exceptional English Communication: Fluent written and spoken English. Must be comfortable making outbound calls to US insurance adjusters and customers via VoIP (RingCentral, OpenPhone, etc.).
- Financial & Claims Savvy: Understanding of O&P; (Overhead & Profit), line-item justifications, depreciation, and carrier payment workflows.
- Technical Setup: High-speed internet connection, quiet work environment, active Xactimate license (or willingness to use company seat), and a reliable computer capable of running 3D modeling/rendering software.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- Experience with restoration management platforms (e.g., Dash).
- Experience handling contents/pack-out inventory software.
