Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
As a Senior Loss Adjuster specialising in Technical and Special Risks , you will take ownership of complex, high‑value, and technically demanding claims across a diverse portfolio. These may include major property and engineering losses, complex business interruption, cyber‑related incidents, energy and infrastructure risks, and other specialist or non‑standard exposures.
Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you will lead investigations from first notification through to settlement, providing strategic direction, technical authority, and sound judgement throughout the lifecycle of each claim. You will work closely with insurers, brokers, insureds, legal advisers, engineers, and forensic specialists, ensuring outcomes are fair, commercially balanced, and fully defensible.
This role places you at the forefront of critical situations where claims are financially significant, reputationally sensitive, or operationally complex. You will act as a trusted advisor, translating highly technical findings into clear, credible guidance while maintaining robust control of coverage, quantum, and liability considerations.
Whether working flexibly from home, from one of our UK offices, or attending site and stakeholder meetings, you will be supported by a senior technical network and a culture that recognises expertise. We invest heavily in specialist capability, professional development, and industry leadership to ensure you remain at the cutting edge of technical adjusting.
This is a role for experienced professionals who thrive in complexity, influence outcomes with confidence, and want to further their career within a market‑leading Technical & Special Risks practice.
