Building Expert Property

Do you want to use your building expertise to help people and organizations move forward after damage?

A storm, leak, or fire can have major consequences for a home, commercial building, or organization. As a Building Damage Expert Property, you bring clarity. You investigate what happened, inventory the structural damage, and establish a carefully substantiated damage amount.

In doing so, you look beyond just the technical side of the file. You take into account the interests of the insured, the client, and other involved parties. With clear communication and a practical approach, you ensure that everyone knows where they stand.

"What makes loss adjusting at Sedgwick so special is that no two days are the same. Working with a specialized team of professionals, we work on complex losses where people, emotions, and interests require attention, understanding, and decisiveness. Our strength lies precisely in that dynamism. We bring calm to complex situations by acting quickly, communicating clearly, and carefully managing expectations. Loss adjusting at Sedgwick is not just about technical knowledge, but above all about creating trust in an environment where new challenges constantly arise." - Michiel, Operational Director Expertise Benelux

In this independent role, you determine a significant part of your own planning and approach. At the same time, you can count on experienced fellow experts with diverse specialisms. This allows you to consult when a file requires it and continue to develop yourself professionally.

At Sedgwick, you work independently, but never alone. You become part of a collegial and professional environment in which experts share knowledge and support each other with complex issues.

Sedgwick is an international organization in the field of damage expertise and damage handling. Our experts help people and organizations to be able to move forward after damage. We do this with specialist knowledge, independent advice, and personal attention.

Within Expertise and Major & Complex Loss, you work together with experts in areas including construction, technology, fire and water damage, business interruption, transport, and special risks. Knowledge sharing and collaboration are central, so that we reach a careful damage assessment for all involved parties.

Do you want varied work on-site, to take responsibility for your own files, and to help people move forward again after damage?

• A lot of freedom and independence in planning and handling your files.
• Good guidance from experienced colleagues and relevant training to further learn the expertise profession.
• A salary that is aligned with your education, knowledge, and experience.
