Risk Specialist, Manufacturing

We are currently seeking candidates for a Manufacturing Specialist with experience in the insurance, loss control, and the safety industry. This person will be supporting our Michigan underwriting operations. The Manufacturing Specialist professional operates within the Risk Consulting Department and is considered an integral component of our value-added services for commercial insurance policyholders. The position will report to the Michigan Risk Consulting Branch Manager and directly support our Michigan territory, along with periodic travel outside the state. Occasional travel is sometimes required throughout the region as business needs warrant. The position requires overnight travel, 2-3 nights per month. Outside of local and regional client engagement travel, this is a "work from home" position.

The primary focus of this position is to provide an understanding of a client's operations to our underwriting team; counsel clients on best practices related to their existing operations and programs (property evaluations for large complex locations, new construction projects, sprinkler plan reviews, development of internal guidelines); assist clients with identifying hazards within their facilities and, as appropriate, provide recommendations for improved practices; discuss and provide Chubb's risk consulting services to meet client needs and / or improve the accounts loss ratio. On-site visits with existing and prospective customers will be conducted, and comprehensive reports will be completed that evaluate hazards and controls for adequate risk selection, pricing, and application of underwriting techniques that will lead to profitable growth.

Day-to-day activities will include scheduling client visits, processing client correspondence and inquiries, completing reports and following up on recommendations, and coordinating with claims and underwriting partners to ensure we exceed service expectations and consistently support satisfactory risk selection and client retention.
