Underwriter with IT support expertise, delivering accurate risk assessments and dependable technical solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced underwriter with over three years' underwriting experience and a strong IT support background. I ensure underwriting and claims processes, policies and standards are adhered to while preparing timely quotations and issuing policy documentation.
I have worked across branch and agency environments where I maintained effective business relationships, approved documents within authority limits, conducted risk surveys and managed claims intake and forwarding.
My IT experience includes desktop and network support, systems configuration, inventory administration and implementing office automation technologies. I have supported users, deployed hardware and assisted with website and ICT lab setups.
I communicate well at all levels, work independently or in teams, and seek to join a progressive, ambitious organisation where I can apply both my insurance and IT skills to add measurable value.
