Experience with New York Labor Law claims and a professional license pathway are valued, with strong communication and client-service skills.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of commercial insurance, construction claims, carrier, TPA, brokerage, legal, or risk-management experience, including construction general liability and casualty claims involving general contractors or major construction projects.
• Direct experience with claims involving job-site accidents, coverage analysis, contractual risk transfer, construction defect, and/or litigated construction claims strongly preferred.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent related experience.
• Must have the willingness to obtain an active Property and Casualty license within four months of hire (90 days).
• Relevant insurance or claims designations, such as AIC, ARM, CPCU, CRIS, or SCLA, are beneficial but not required.

Responsibilities

• Represent general contractors and construction clients on construction general liability claims, including job-site accidents, bodily injury, property damage, and complex casualty matters.
• Partner with clients, insurance carriers, TPAs, and defense and coverage counsel to assess liability, damages, coverage, and contractual obligations and develop coordinated resolution strategies.
• Analyze coverage and construction contracts, including insurance requirements, indemnity provisions, additional insured coverage, and priority of coverage, to maximize available insurance recovery.
• Develop and pursue risk-transfer strategies, including tenders to subcontractors and their insurers, additional insurance coverage, contractual indemnification, and contribution from other responsible parties.
• Support construction defects and completed operations claims and help resolve disputes involving defense and indemnity obligations, additional insured coverage, priority of coverage, allocation, and retentions.
• Manage and provide guidance on New York Labor Law claims, including 200, 240(1), and 241(6).
• Actively manage litigated claims, including liability, defense strategy, damages, risk transfer, and settlement posture, and participate in claim reviews.
• Review coverage positions, reservations of rights, tenders, denials, pleadings, and claim reports, and recommend appropriate action.
• Stay highly responsive, anticipate obstacles, maintain follow-up with all parties, and elevate carrier, coverage, or defense concerns when intervention can improve the client's position.
• Translate complex liability, coverage, contract, and litigation issues into clear recommendations, and maintain thorough claim documentation and action plans.
• Identify claim trends that can inform risk management, contract practices, and insurance placement, and support stewardship meetings, renewals, and new-business presentations as needed.
