Review construction contracts and professional services agreements to assess indemnification obligations, limitations of liability, warranties, guarantees, contractual assumptions, and the allocation of design responsibility.
Assess pricing adequacy, attachment points, limits, retentions, policy terms, project duration, post-completion exposure, and extended reporting requirements.
Identify potential aggregation and capacity exposures across insureds, projects, annual programs, and project-specific placements.
Develop clear, well-supported underwriting recommendations and document the rationale for risk selection, pricing, terms, and conditions.
Negotiate coverage, pricing, and policy terms with retail and wholesale brokers while maintaining disciplined risk selection and underwriting standards.
Build and maintain productive relationships with construction-focused brokers and clients to generate a consistent flow of target business.
Identify new business and cross-selling opportunities that align with Swiss Re's Construction PI and broader Professional Liability strategy.
Collaborate with Claims, Actuarial, Risk Engineering, Contracts & Wording, and other underwriting colleagues when evaluating complex risks or exposures requiring additional technical review.
Monitor portfolio performance, market conditions, claims developments, emerging construction methods, and changes in project delivery and design technology.
Represent Swiss Re Corporate Solutions through broker meetings, client discussions, marketing visits, and industry events.
Underwrite selected Miscellaneous Professional Liability opportunities and continue developing expertise across the broader Professional Liability portfolio.
