About the Prospect
My client, a well-established Canadian property & casualty insurer is looking for a Senior Claims Adjuster for its commercial liability team. This is a technical, hands-on role for an adjuster who genuinely enjoys the complex end of the CGL book, not volume file handling.

The commercial book here is large and growing, with meaningful concentrations in contracting and manufacturing. Think construction defect and faulty workmanship losses, municipal exposures, product and occupier's liability, and litigated bodily injury files. If your idea of a good week involves a plumbing failure that flooded ten floors of a high-rise and the coverage analysis that follows, this is your file.

You’ll join a tight, collaborative team of roughly eight, supported by a senior claims consultant on larger risks and a dedicated claims trainer.

Investigate, negotiate and settle serious CGL and bodily injury claims from first notice through resolution

Confirm coverage and complete full liability and damages investigations on complex exposures

Instruct and manage external partners, independent adjusters, defence counsel, engineers and other experts

Calculate ultimate probable exposure and reserve accordingly, keeping files current with reserve worksheets, case law, and medical and liability documentation





Prepare Major Loss and Reinsurance Reports and participate in the Claims Committee process

Represent the company at private and mandatory mediations, pre-trials and trials (travel required)

Mentor and coach intermediate and junior adjusters on the team

What You Bring

6+ years adjusting CGL and bodily injury claims, with true depth in complex, litigated files

Strong coverage background. duty to defend vs. indemnify, product liability, occupier's liability and environmental losses

Municipality losses and construction wrap-up experience is a significant asset

Insurer-side file ownership. This team is looking for adjusters who have carried files start to finish with full authority and all the touch points that come with it

Solid grounding in regulatory and contractual obligations, medical terminology, vocational rehabilitation concepts and dispute resolution

Experience with internal and external audits

University or college degree; CIP designation completed or in progress

Guidewire experience is an asset

Why This Role
Culture is the thing this team leads with, and it holds up: a supportive group, real investment in development, and leaders who protect the one-day-per-week hybrid model.

Defined Benefit, increasingly rare in this market

Company paid benefits

Company Bonus

$1,000 annual matched savings plan (RRSP, TFSA or NRSP)

Annual wellness allowance, internet reimbursement, home office furniture allowance

Free parking

The posted range reflects the expected hiring range. Candidates bringing genuine depth in complex CGL may be considered above the maximum.
