Solid reputation, passionate people and endless opportunities.
That's Travelers. Our superior financial strength and consistent record of strong operating returns mean security for our customers - and opportunities for our employees. You will find Travelers to be full of energy and a workplace in which you truly can make a difference.
Are you prepared for the challenge of assessing a variety of risks across several industries to identify hazards and controls? Do you have the interpersonal skills for influencing clients to implement recommendations and provide service to minimize losses? If you are ready for this, consider our Risk Control Development Program.
We are looking for people who are curious about why people get hurt, why buildings burn down, why products fail, why one company has a great safety record and another one does not, why people get sick from their work environments, and why so many types of losses occur. Uncovering the factors that lead up to those losses is key! Our Risk Control staff-s inherent curiosity over the last 100 years allows us to know what works and what doesn-t. We apply proven risk control/loss prevention concepts to thousands of commercial accounts across the country each week.
At Travelers Risk Control, part of a Fortune 100 Company, our mission is to provide unparalleled risk control services and exposure assessments designed to reduce clients- exposure to risk, control loss costs, protect property and save lives. We influence underwriting decisions while maintaining a highly professional and technically proficient staff. Risk Control remains closely involved in the growth and profit goals of each of the businesses at our company.
We have experience working with customers in most industries, including manufacturing, printing, education, wholesale and retail businesses and service organizations. Our professional field consultants work closely with highly qualified specialists, dedicated in areas such as fire protection, product liability, transportation, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, and injury management. We work with small- and medium-sized commercial clients in addition to businesses that are national
in scope. We also have specialty areas where our consultants focus exclusively with clients having unique needs in boiler and machinery, construction, public sector, and the oil and gas industry. Participants learn through a structured training program. There is a Field Office Orientation program, as well as technical training in St. Paul, MN or Hartford, CT. After participants have completed these sessions, they return to their field location for a comprehensive on-the-job training program coupled with attendance at a variety of formal technical training sessions. This training is followed by continued close supervision and mentoring as individuals begin to work on their initial risk control assignments. The participants will develop an understanding of various business segments and their business strategies designed to achieve growth and profit objectives.
Participants must develop effective relationships with Underwriting and Service Teams, our Clients, the Broker/Agent community, Claim, and our Risk Control community.
Risk Control Development Program participants must have the ability to effectively communicate verbally and through sound business writing. They also must have sound analytical skills and be customer service oriented. The ability to work independently and in a team environment is also an important qualification.
