What you’ll do:

  • Mentor junior underwriters and support team development.

What we’re looking for:

  • Significant experience underwriting engineering and/or construction risks with a background at another insurer or syndicate.

  • Strong technical knowledge of CAR, EAR, and related products.

  • Proven ability to deliver profitable results and build broker relationships.

  • Excellent analytical, negotiation, and communication skills.

If you’re a confident, technically strong underwriter looking to make an impact in a growing team, we’d love to hear from you.
