Claims Adjuster II, Field Property - National Catastrophe ($5000 Sign-on Bonus)
Nationwide Mutual Insurance 4.5
Nationwide Mutual Insurance job in Des Moines, IA
If you're passionate about helping people protect what matters most to them, as well as innovating and simplifying processes and operations to provide the best customer value, then Nationwide's Property and Casualty team could be the place for you! At Nationwide , “on your side” goes beyond just words. Our customers and partners are at the center of everything we do and we're looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care.
This is a field-based role on the National Catastrophe Response Team. This position is responsible for managing property claims in response to catastrophic events across the country. As a field-based adjuster, you will be deployed to areas impacted by large-scale disasters-such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or other major events-to assess damages, support policyholders, and help communities begin the recovery process. The role requires extensive travel (up to 80%), often on short notice, and the ability to work in high-pressure, fast-paced environments for extended periods.
You will regularly engage in direct, and at times, emotionally charged conversations with customers-clearly explaining coverage decisions, setting expectations, and delivering difficult news with empathy and professionalism. The ability to remain composed and compassionate in the face of loss, frustration, or uncertainty is essential. Strong communication skills and emotional resilience are critical, as you'll be guiding customers through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.
In this role, you'll conduct on-site inspections, evaluate property damages, determine policy coverage, and make timely, accurate decisions using a variety of tools and resources, including vendor estimates, independent adjusters, and self-written assessments. You'll also be responsible for full file ownership, maintaining appropriate reserves, managing claim activity (including supplements and requests for depreciation), ensuring compliance with internal standards and regulatory requirements, and providing proactive communication with external customers throughout each stage of the claim. Collaboration with internal teams such as Special Investigations and Subrogation may be required to identify fraud or recovery opportunities. Staying current on industry repair practices, regional pricing trends, and legal developments is key to success. This is a demanding, customer-facing role that requires a unique blend of technical expertise, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. Candidates should be comfortable working independently in disaster zones, managing a high volume of claims, working 12 hours a day, up to 21 days in a row, and adapting quickly to evolving priorities. If you're driven by purpose, thrive under pressure, and want to make a meaningful impact during times of crisis, this role offers a challenging and deeply rewarding opportunity.
Ideal candidates will have:
Prior insurance field/property claims handling or adjusting experience
Proficiency with Xactimate
Prior estimate writing experience
Ability to handle claims of varying complexity from start to finish
Prior experience working in on site in a catastrophe environment
Ability to carry a ladder and climb a roof
Strong customer service competency
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
A $5000 SIGN-ON BONUS will be given to all external candidates hired into this role. Half of the bonus will be paid after 3 months of employment and the remainder will be paid after 9 months of employment.
Summary
No two property claims are ever the same and each customer has unique needs. Our team thrives on providing the very best service and building lasting, successful relationships with our customers. If you are confident, curious, driven to learn and grow, and have a desire to help people when they most need it, we want to know more about you!
