We are delighted to be partnering with this top global insurer, which is seeking a talented Construction Underwriter.
You will see this insurer featuring very regularly in the insurance press as a result of winning multiple awards and industry plaudits. Its impressive growth is giving its employees access to unrivalled career development opportunities, and there could not be a better time to join this incredible organisation.
In this varied role, you will inherit a substantial and well‑established portfolio of mid‑market business, with average premiums typically around £15K, but up to £100K. Duties will include underwriting Construction risks across a multi‑line portfolio, managing a busy renewal book, and processing mid‑term adjustments. You’ll also be responsible for managing strong working relationships with brokers, and cross‑selling additional products and services where appropriate.
This company is highly innovative and offers a unique Construction Combined product, which is being extremely well‑received in the market. Refreshingly, this product gives Construction Underwriters rare exposure to cross‑class covers including Liability, Contract Works and PI. You’ll work in conjunction with highly experienced colleagues across the company, including the specialist PI team, who will help you plug any gaps in specific technical knowledge.
It’s essential to have a successful track record of writing Construction insurance. As the product has a Liability bias, it is crucial that you are competent within this area. Any experience with Contract Works or Construction PI would be advantageous, although this is by no means essential. Importantly, you must be well‑organised, conscientious, and a strong team player.
You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary, together with a lucrative annual bonus scheme. In addition, you will have access to a highly comprehensive benefits package, which includes substantial pension contributions.
