The Role:

Charles Taylor Adjusting is a service-based company, and our prime objective is to provide an expedient, comprehensive and technically competent professional service in response to the instructions from national and international insurance companies to handle claims. The role will require you to provide an efficient and high-quality claims handling service.

A loss adjuster will receive claims details and instructions from senior members of the PCTSR team. When they arrive at the site of the claim, they must review the case using discretion and the ability to prioritise information. At the end of the site visit, they must agree an action plan with the client and provide guidance on the policy coverage to the claim. Although loss adjusters spend time travelling Hong Kong and visiting claim sites, they will usually spend 3-4 days per week as dedicated office time working in the Hong Kong office where they retain and manage a caseload of claims through completion.

A large part of the role is therefore office-based where the loss adjuster will incorporate their findings into reports, compiled in a format which offers an objective and concise analysis of each loss. You will be providing direct support to contractors / subcontractors / third party claimants etc. moving them through the various stages of the claim. This will involve the collating and analysis of claim supporting documents to validate the remedial works / costs and provide settlement proposals in accordance with the terms and conditions of the insurance policy.
