American Road Services Company, the insurance claims component of Ford Motor Credit Company, is seeking to fill a APD Auto Physical Damage Catastrophe Claims Adjuster/Field Service Manager position in the state of Florida.
Interested candidates must be willing to travel overnight as required and the travel can be as much as 50-70% to handle claims within your territory/region and to assist for catastrophic losses.

Long term, the company is looking for candidates that have the ability to move up through the organization (in field and/or central office management or staff positions).
