Remuneration
Competitive salary, commensurate with skills, experience, and professional qualifications
We have a fantastic opportunity for an Average Adjuster in London.
The Average Adjuster is a specialist technical role, supporting shipowners, insurers and brokers worldwide in the resolution of marine insurance claims. You’ll be the trusted advisor, guiding clients through complex claims processes, interpreting policy wordings, and calculating policy liabilities. Each day brings a new challenge: analysing intricate facts, adjusting claims to reach correct and equitable settlements using knowledge of relevant insurance law and adjusting practice and collaborating with legal and industry experts to identify and resolve disputes should they arise. The role demands both analytical rigour and empathy—clear communication reassures clients, while independent judgment ensures fair outcomes.
Imagine being the steady hand after a vessel suffers a major casualty. You’ll clarify complex principles to clients and have underwriters commending your expertise and professionalism. It’s a chance to make a real impact in the marine insurance sector, one measured decision at a time.
Whether working from our central London office or remotely, you’ll be part of a collaborative, supportive global team. We offer comprehensive training to develop your technical skills, and the opportunity to earn prestigious industry qualifications (such as Fellowship of the Association of Average Adjusters).
