Support Temporary Transitional Employment (TTE) coordination when needed. Track open claims, follow-up items, restrictions, and return-to-work status. Escalate issues impacting employee recovery, return-to-work efforts, or operational effectiveness. Participate in claim reviews, training initiatives, and process improvement efforts. What We're Looking For Required Qualifications 2+ years of experience in workers' compensation, claims administration, HR, leave administration, employee relations, safety, compliance, or a related field. Strong communication, interpersonal, and relationship-building skills. Strong attention to detail and documentation abilities. Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.

Gain exposure to employee relations, leave management, return-to-work programs, accommodations, and claims operations. Opportunity for professional growth as the Claims function continues to expand.
