| | Brea Ribbon Cutting Set for Zurich North America By Robert Warne - February 9, 2004Zurich North America recently broke ground in Brea to set up a new office dedicated to handling a book of construction claims written by Zurich London.
Come March 8, the administrative scaffolding set in place to build the new operation will have been removed and the finished product left standing will be a claims office for 23 new employees.
The claims going to the Brea location, 95 percent of which are construction defect, were most recently handled by West Coast Casualty Service, a third party administrator.
Not only does the new office at 3230 Imperial Highway expand the job opportunity potential for construction claims professionals in Orange County, but it also means a promotion for Scott Struble, the new assistant vice president, director of construction claims.
In an interview with adjustercom.com Struble said, “It is a great opportunity and a tremendous challenge to start up a new office but Brea is a great place to do it because of its location and access to an impressive talent base.”
Struble has built his solid 13-year claims career dealing with construction type claims. Starting in Arizona with CNA, he has been in California for the last 10 years and briefly worked for Gerling American before coming to Zurich NA.
Prior to his new assignment Struble was as a TPA supervisor for Zurich NA in Glendale. The Brea office will be staffed with 17 claims handlers, 3 claims administrators and 3 team managers. After a job fair at the Embassy Suites in Brea a little over a week ago that drew 90 potential candidates out, Struble has filled all but four file handler positions. |
