Senior Managing Accident Reconstructionist

**The Role:** The Senior Managing Accident Reconstructionist leads a team of expert staff in reconstructing vehicular accidents and requires excessive experience in forensic engineering and/or accident reconstruction investigations. This role requires traveling to the site of vehicular accidents, assessing conditions leading to the accident, utilizing specialized software to reconstruct the accidents, working with forensic animators to develop 3D models and other graphics for trial exhibits, accurately analyzing crash patterns, and providing written conclusions to determine factors contributing to the accidents. The ideal candidate has an established network of clientele and is experienced with building, establishing, and maintaining rapport with this network. This is a fully remote role open to candidates located anywhere in the United States. Candidates located in the listed states are encouraged to apply. **As a Senior Managing Accident Reconstructionist, you will:** * Leads a team of experts in conducting accident investigations by traveling to and documenting accident scenes, downloading vehicle data recorders, performing analysis of accidents using crash simulation software, writing reports as needed and providing litigation support services to clients. * Handles large, complex projects and manages all aspects of the project from start to finish. * Supports business development efforts by building and maintaining rapport with current clients and generating new work for themselves and a team of experts supporting them. Partners with business development representatives, attends conferences and events to promote the company and skills of expert staff. * Communicates with clients and team regarding scope of work, investigation tasks, budget, and ensures all project completion timelines, deadlines and deliverables are met. * Ensures workload is evenly distributed amongst experts. * Mentors, leads and guides a team of experts in all aspects of project work. * Provides expert testimony in depositions or trials as expert witness if/when requested. * Performs vehicular investigations, including documenting crash scenes, using 3D laser scanners, photography, drones, CDR/EDR download, and measuring devices. * Analyzes vehicle crush patterns and conducts research (vehicle specifications, crash test data, maintenance history, etc.) * Processes 3D laser scan point cloud data using engineering workstation computers. * Works with forensic animators to develop scaled 3D drawings of crash scenes and vehicles. * Utilizes PC Crash (or other similar collision reconstruction software) to perform simulations of automobile collisions. * Utilizes engineering principles and momentum equations to calculate factors such as impact and departure speeds, collision forces, trajectories of the vehicles, and other types of analysis. * Compares calculations with crash test reports of similar collisions to correlate damages based on speed and velocity. * C
