- Maintain accurate inventory tracking, labeling, & condition reporting in RMS & contents-management systems
- Keep all job documentation audit-ready at every stage, with zero billing gaps at invoice
- Uphold warehouse cleanliness, item segregation, ozone-room standards, & contents security protocols
• Serve as the primary point of contact for homeowners, property managers, adjusters, & carriers throughout each job
• Meet clients & adjusters on-site to resolve issues & provide a professional opinion; re-inspect job sites for quality control
• Communicate progress, scope changes, & milestones to Operations Leadership, & obtain final authorizations before job close
• Build & grow professional relationships with carriers, vendor networks, & Third-Party Administrators
• 3+ years in property restoration, contents management, or related claims/estimating roles
