Why Join Crawford?

Join a collaborative claims environment where you can work alongside other adjusters and specialist professionals across Crawford's national liability team. You will gain exposure to diverse and high-profile matters, with the backing and career opportunities of a global claims organisation.

• Varied work spanning personal injury and property liability.
• Opportunity to deepen recognised injury liability expertise.

What You Will Do

• Manage clients, competing priorities and claim milestones; negotiate settlements where instructed.
