Sr. Risk and Safety Consultant

Job Description

The Sr. Risk and Safety Consultant advises clients and internal staff in alignment with company vision, mission and strategy. This includes detailed analysis of client’s risk management program and staying abreast of changes in the insurance market. Additionally, this individual will provide risk assessment and development of solutions for improving or mitigating loss experience and expanding business opportunities. You’ll serve as an elite expert and leader in the field and within our agency by servicing large, unique and/or high-profile clients.

The ideal candidate for this position will be located in the Omaha, NE metro area. Clients will primarily be in the states of Nebraska, eastern South Dakota (Sioux Falls area), and western Iowa, with occasional trips out of state for clients with multi-state operations.

This role is part of our Commercial Risk & Safety team and will serve a broad range of clients in manufacturing, services, warehousing/logistics, and related industries. The occasional construction client may be assigned, but this will be a less frequent part of the role.
