Surety Underwriters

A Surety Underwriter evaluates the financial strength, work program, and performance history of contractors to underwrite bid, performance, and payment bonds. Their work supports public and private construction projects by ensuring contractors have the financial and operational capacity to complete their work. They analyze financial statements, work‑in‑progress reports, bank relationships, and management experience. While surety is its own underwriting discipline, it is deeply intertwined with construction risk and project delivery. This role requires strong financial analysis skills, relationship management, and the ability to assess both the contractor and the project.
