The role:

Reporting to the Head of Construction Sector Sales, you’ll combine technical underwriting expertise with strong trading instincts to win and develop new business.

Contribute to portfolio growth and underwriting strategy

Leadership & Influence

Act as a technical referral point for complex risks
Mentor and support junior underwriters
Collaborate across teams to maximise cross-line opportunities

What you’ll bring:

Strong experience in construction underwriting, with a focus on liability
Proven ability to trade, negotiate and win broker-led business
Experience handling complex or mid-to-large risks
Confidence managing broker relationships both remotely and face-to-face
A commercial mindset with the drive to grow a portfolio

Bonus points for:

Multi-line experience (e.g. Contract Works, PI, Property)
Existing relationships within key brokers or regional markets

What success looks like:

Delivery of ~£1M annual new business GWP
Building a strong, sustainable broker pipeline
Contributing to team performance, strategy and growth
Becoming a trusted market presence in construction underwriting

What’s in it for you:

Competitive salary + great quarterly bonus scheme
Flexible hybrid working (2–3 days in-office)
Private medical, dental, pension, life assurance & income protection
25 days holiday + buy/sell options
A culture that is collaborative, down-to-earth and genuinely people-first

Why Markel:

We’re a Fortune 500 business with a human approach. Our underwriters are trusted to think differently, act decisively, and build meaningful relationships.

Our values shape how we work:

We’re all about people
We win together
We strive for better
We enjoy the everyday
We think further
