Job description

Company: NICO National Indemnity Company

Want to work for a company with unparalleled financial strength and stability that offers "large company" benefits with an exciting, friendly, and "small company" atmosphere? Our companies, as members of the Berkshire Hathaway group of Insurance Companies, provide opportunities for professionals interested in just that.

We are a commercial property & casualty insurance company looking to fill entry-level underwriting positions. We consider a variety of backgrounds and do not require insurance experience. Our on-the-job training provides the right candidate the opportunity to be successful in this position.

What is underwriting? Insurance underwriters use analytical skills to review information from an applicant to evaluate the degree of risk involved in a business or operation to determine if the applicant should be approved for a policy. The underwriter then uses our technology and data to determine the coverages to provide and the premium to be charged for the risk.

Our underwriting professionals utilize strong communication and customer service skills by asking questions and making decisions over the phone and via e-mail with our agents.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor degree or equivalent
• Knowledge of basic math
• Ability to solve problems and make decisions
• Excellent customer service skills
• Ability to multi-task

Benefits and Perks: We offer a retirement and savings plan with dollar for dollar 5% company match, a paid upfront education reimbursement program, and health, dental, vision, life, and disability plans. Our wellness program is integrated into the Company culture with a brand new on-site fitness center and an online wellness portal that offers a year-round, one-stop-shop to manage and track all areas of health. The Company subsidizes the majority of the cost of downtown parking, with the most you’ll pay being $5 a month.

We hope you’ll consider joining us!
