Field Claims Representative

:

**Will be filled at the appropriate level based on experience**

Do you have strong investigation skills, an inquisitive nature and enjoy problem solving? Are you a go-getter with high initiative, a positive attitude and a lifelong learner? Do you thrive in a work environment where you must work independently with limited direction, multi-task, and have strong organization skills? If so, this Field Claims Representative opportunity could be a great fit for you!

Who We Are: With Farm Bureau Financial Services, our client/members can feel confident knowing their family, home, cars and other property are protected. We value a culture where integrity, teamwork, passion, service, leadership and accountability are at the heart of every decision we make and every action we take. We're proud of our more than 80-year commitment to protecting the livelihoods and futures of our client/members and creating an atmosphere where our employees thrive.

What You'll Do: As a Field Claims Representative, you will be responsible for investigating, evaluating, negotiating and settling assigned claims involving multi-lines of insurance coverage (property and casualty claims related to farm, equipment, home, and commercial). You must investigate the cause of the loss, interpret the policy, keep diligent file documentation during the claim and determine coverage based on the policy. You will also determine the value of the loss and assist the Farm Bureau client/member through the process to make the claim simple for them. During storm season, you must be available to assist coworkers in other parts of New Mexico as needed, as well as in our other Farm Bureau states (Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota & Utah). You will work out of our field office in Albuquerque, NM and cover an assigned territory.

• Must be able to work under all kinds of weather conditions and fully appraise all physical aspects of the property and buildings, which includes climbing on ladders to inspect roofs.
• Must have valid driver's license and the ability to travel. Typically, travel is during the workday for field appointments within your assigned territory but may also include limited overnight travel. A company vehicle is provided.
