IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:
If you are interested in applying for this position after reviewing the information below, please do so by completing the application and answering "ALL" of the screening questions.

JOB DESCRIPTION:
New England Property Services Group, LLC (NEPSG) is a Residential Restoration Contracting Business that operates in CT, MA, and RI focused on Insurance Claim Projects. In taking on insurance claim projects, we take an Irrevocable Assignment of Insurance Claim Benefits & Rights from the policyholder and in turn, NEPSG steps into the shoes of the insured as the Claimant / Assignee. This allows NEPSG to discuss the claim beyond the level of a typical homeowner / contactor relationship, as this Assignment allows NPESG to discuss policy language, invoke the Appraisal option (for CT & RI Claims) and/or Reference Proceeding Option (for MA Claims) and of course, file suit and do so in the name of the company as the chose in action Assignee.
With our involvement in insurance claims, there are many claim files that require us to use the Appraisal and/or Reference Process (noted above) and as such, we are looking to speak to candidates that have backgrounds related to the types of damages we take on as part of the claims, which include but are not limited to residential roofing, vinyl siding replacements, interior water damage restoration, as well as attic remediation, which requires both removal and replacement insulation.
Having any type of Water or Mold Certifications as well as at a minimum having an active OSHA 10 Certification would be very beneficial. In addition, having been involved in roofing and vinyl siding with particular training to understand how the products are to be installed per building code or per manufacturers installation instructions is a must to have now or to obtain. You would also need to have proper transportation and in some cases, a ladder to access a roof or attic and/or to have access through other means to do so.
The compensation for this type of work will likely have 2 tiers / levels, one for acting as an Appraiser (For Rhode Island and Connecticut) or Referee for NEPSG (typically the higher tier / level), and the other for providing Estimating Services to NEPSG outside of the Scope of being engaged as an Appraiser and/or Referee.
In regard to being nominated as a candidate in a Reference Proceeding in Massachusetts, an individual must be a legal Massachusetts Resident and 18 years or older. In Rhode Island, there is no requirement to be a Rhode Island resident to be nominated as an Appraiser. The compensation for either an Appraiser or Referee would be based on an agreed upon hourly rate set in advance of being nominated and you would be required to provide documentation for any time spent on resolving a claim through the Appraisal or Reference Process and upon completion of the process, you would submit an invoice for your time (based on the hourly rate) and we will issue payment. As such, you would not be an employee, but a 1099 independent contractor for this work.
PLEASE NOTE:
This opportunity is NOT an offer of Employment for any guaranteed or suggested amount of Hours Per Week. This is an opportunity for those seeking to have the possibility of contractual work, which would be based on our needs, which may be sporadic at times. The candidate would document the time spent and then submit an invoice at the end of the project for payment, which will be via a direct check with no deductions for any taxes as again, this is not an offer for employment and as such, the candidate will not be considered an employee. Please be sure that this is understood and as such, maintaining current employment and working around that employment is anticipated.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss more about my company and share more about your background and potential interest in helping, even if it is on a limited / pre-set basis and if there is any interest to discuss this in more detail, kindly share your availability to get on a call and/or meet in person, when replying if you have any interest in discussing this further. I ask that you please email me directly outside of Indeed and you will find my full contact information is below to do so.
I do thank you for your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon!
