New Training Class for Claims Representatives set to start!

We are starting another Claims Training Program and are interested in hearing from candidates interested in beginning (or continuing) a career in claims adjusting. Colorado's economy continues to grow and the state's employers are adding employees. A side effect of this is that even if the frequency of claims remains the same with a larger workforce you'll still see more people getting injured on the job simply because there are more people working. Pinnacol's Claims Representatives are responsible for helping these injured workers navigate their benefits through their employer's workers' compensation insurance coverage. We are going to be starting up another training program for entry level Claims Representatives and are looking for candidates interested in beginning (or continuing) an insurance career in this role. 

Claims and underwriting are the two things at the heart of what every insurance company does - whether selling pet insurance, life insurance, auto insurance, or property and casualty insurance. Obviously there are many other types of jobs with insurance companies but these are the two major career paths and there are definite differences between them both in terms of the actual work done but also in the unique challenges and job satisfaction they offer. 

Claims is where the rubber hits the road - it's where the risk that was analyzed and forecast by the underwriters becomes reality. In our world of workers' compensation its where we get to help folks who really need us. No one wants to be injured on the job and it can be a scary and challenging situation. Our Claims Representatives have to do a lot of education, investigation and consultation with injured workers, policyholders, and medical providers while continuing to move the claim toward a successful outcome. 

If exploring this type of role sounds interesting we'd love to hear from you! As this is a professional position, entry level Claims Representatives with no claims experience do need to have a Bachelors degree. For those with existing claims experience we can take that into account in lieu of the formal degree. As always, if you are interested we ask that you please apply via our company website
