  • Learn to prepare professional reports and data entries in estimating tools.
  • Gain exposure to industry software like Xactimate, Bluebeam Revu, and project scheduling tools.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in civil / mechanical / structural engineering, construction management, or related field.
  • Past construction or risk management internship experience preferred.
  • Strong analytical, communication and technical reading skills.
  • Advanced Excel skills; Xactimate/scheduling software experience preferred.
  • Willingness to travel (~30%), meet the physical requirements, and work in varied field conditions.

Why DBI

  • Competitive total compensation and clear career advancement opportunities.
  • Learn from experts — gain both field and office experience in a dynamic, engaging role.
  • Sharpen your construction knowledge in a culture that values accuracy, hard work, and teamwork.

Physical Activities and Requirements:

In addition to the working conditions and associated physical activities and requirements above, the incumbent may be required to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl, reach, stand, walk, push, pull, lift, finger, grasp, or feel, especially in the course of investigating and assessing property damage; these requirements may include the need to lift weights of up to 50 pounds, including a ladder, and climb ladders upwards of 30 feet.

The work requires close visual acuity, with or without correction, to prepare reports containing words, symbols, and numerical figures; the incumbent is required to view a computer terminal, use a keyboard, read printed documents, make detailed visual inspections, perceive color, perceive depth, and have a sufficient field of vision to carry out all inspection and related duties.
