United Kingdom Aston Charles Ltd Full time €60,000

Liability Underwriter (Roofers & Scaffolders) Home-Based

Leading MGA

to circa £60K (Negotiable) plus attractive bonus and benefits

JH-2887RS

As a niche Managing General Agent holding both Lloyd’s Coverholder and Broker Status, this firm is recognised as a market-leader across its chosen disciplines, and is renowned for being able to offer innovative solutions and adapt quickly to changes in a fast-paced market.

It has a flat-management structure, headed by a highly respected leadership team and is well-known for employing some of the most talented Underwriters in the market. Whilst these Underwriters benefit from a robust infrastructure, market-leading systems and processes, they do enjoy retaining the autonomy of a ‘hands on’ Underwriter, taking each risk on its own merit within the binder parameters laid down by insurer partners.

Staff in this company find its approach very refreshing – entrepreneurial, innovative, and a place where people can really make a difference. The business is enjoying substantial growth, and rolling out new products, propositions and distribution channels as a result. As such, this is a really exciting time for Underwriters to join the company, particularly as along with its growth comes great career-development opportunities.

Your primary focus will be to write Liability risks within the Construction sector (specifically for Roofers & Scaffolders). This is a sector where our client is flourishing (growing 20% year on year), and benefiting from a constantly growing number of broker enquiries The company already writes a great deal of business in the South East, and in line with its strategic growth plans, is now looking to capitalise on opportunities within the regions.

Using your technical expertise, you will typically focus on writing new and renewal Employer’s & Public Liability risks with premiums averaging around £5,000. This is by no means a sales-style role as a wealth of enquiries are readily available. However, ideally you will be able to bring new broker relationships to the company (or bolster existing ones), and you’ll be happy to promote Group products in the market. This will include attending meetings, either in person at brokers’ offices, or virtually.

This is a remote-based role with a high degree of flexibility, however you will be required to attend a regional office occasionally to meet colleagues. For those who live closer to a regional office, you will, of course, be welcome to attend the office more regularly, if desired.

It is essential that you have experience of underwriting business for Roofers & Scaffolders, together with a good understanding of both EL & PL insurance. Just as importantly, you’ll display a flexible, ‘hands on’ approach to underwriting, whilst generating good profit and healthy loss ratios across your account.

You must have excellent communication skills (both written and verbal), together with the ability to trade with brokers on individual cases and overall accounts. You will also pride yourself on developing your technical skills, keeping abreast of industry developments, as well as any changes to inhouse or FCA regulations.

You will receive a salary of up to £60,000 (Potentially more for outstanding candidates), plus a highly lucrative bonus and a host of benefits including 4 X DIS, free family travel insurance and subsidised gym memberships.
