As a result of both steady growth and geographic expansion, Midwestern Insurance Alliance has created a new position on our loss control team. If you are an experienced loss control/safety professional and have ever wanted to land a career within a company that is large enough to provide the stability and employment security you need, but small enough that you are valued throughout the company for your knowledge, opinions and insight, not an expendable part of a bureaucracy, then Midwestern may be the place for you.
Midwestern has a strong transportation industry focus. So if you have a solid understanding of the trucking industry and familiarity with FMCSA regulations this could be your perfect match; however this is not a DOT compliance position. In fact, if you have experience with a wide range of industries, keep reading. In this position you will leverage your knowledge, skill, and experience to assess the injury exposures and safety management efforts of trucking companies, logging crews, recycling entities, wood products businesses, and more.
To provide efficient services, the ideal candidate will reside relatively central to the NC, SC, and VA territory.
Primary Duties:
- Conduct assigned loss control surveys (both onsite and telephonic), to include assessing existing safety management processes and observing policyholders’ work sites to determine the existence and use of appropriate controls for the exposures.
- Write professionally worded reports which include a detailed summary of the policyholder’s operation and safety management practices, as well as descriptions of the deficiencies and/or opportunities for risk improvement.
- Provide meaningful recommendations and appropriate safety information to policyholders to assist in recommendation compliance and/or proactive safety training and education of their employees.
- Create safety-related literature (safety programs, handouts, presentations, etc.) for use by policyholders.
- Assist policyholders by conducting safety training for their employees.
- Schedule work according to requested due dates of survey reports.
- Routinely attend and participate in state trucking association meetings/events.
- Review loss activity of policyholders and recommend risk improvement strategies as necessary.
- Maintain a close relationship with internal departments, policyholders and agents.
Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years of workers’ compensation loss control experience, preferably with significant trucking industry exposure.
- Insurance, safety and/or motor carrier transportation industry certifications such as Associate in Risk Management (ARM), Certified Safety Professional (CSP) or Certified Director of Safety (CDS) preferred.
- A four year college degree in Occupational Safety or related field.
- Intermediate knowledge of FMCSA regulations.
- General computer proficiency, to include Microsoft Office programs.
- Ability to plan and work efficiently and effectively under limited supervision.
- An excellent knowledge of safety regulations and recognized safe work practices.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills.
