Loss Control Consultant - Workers' Compensation
About The Position
About us: Good things are happening at Berkshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance Companies. We provide Property & Casualty insurance products and services through a nationwide network of independent agents and brokers. Our companies are all rated A+ “Superior” by AM Best (the leading independent insurance rating organization) and ultimately owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway group – one of the financially strongest organizations in the world! Headquartered in Wilkes-Barre, PA, we employ over 1,000 individuals (and growing) and have offices across the country. Our vision is to be a leading small business insurance provider nationwide. Founded upon an exceptional culture and led by a collaborative and inclusive management team, our company’s success is grounded in our core values: accountability, service, integrity, empowerment, and diversity. We are always in search of talented individuals to join our team and embark on an exciting career path! We’re looking for an experienced Workers’ Compensation Loss Control Consultant to help strengthen and evolve our consultative loss control approach within a predominantly small commercial workers’ compensation portfolio. This is more than a traditional loss control role; it’s an opportunity to influence strategy, improve loss outcomes, and help define how workers’ compensation loss control is delivered, positioned, and valued across the organization and with external partners. This role is ideal for a self-directed professional with an entrepreneurial mindset—someone who thrives with autonomy, sees opportunity in ambiguity, and enjoys building practical, real-world solutions that make a difference .

- Serve as a key point of contact for communicating consultative expectations to inspection vendors, particularly for larger or more complex risks.
- Monitor vendor coverage and performance, identify gaps, and support improvements in report quality and consistency.
- Contribute to the development and refinement of workers’ compensation loss control processes, standards, and tools as the program continues to mature.
- Participate in reviewing and improving workers’ compensation inspection forms and recommendations to ensure information collected is meaningful, actionable, and aligned with underwriting and claims needs.
