With a history dating back to 1886, we are Australia's largest internationally represented insurer operating in 44 Countries across Australia, Asia Pacific, Europe and The Americas. QBE has been recognised for the fifth consecutive year as General Insurer of the Year at the 2006 National Insurance Brokers of Australia (NIBA) convention and we are a growing, financially solid and results-led business with a strong brand presence. Our gross written premium of $8.7 Billion and Total Assets which exceed $29 Billion, demonstrates our focus on shareholder success and business acumen within financial service markets. In Australia, we're proud sponsors of the Sydney Swans and Taronga Zoo and our commitment to the community at large is a priority for QBE Australia and is driven by a strong sense of corporate responsibility.
However, we do acknowledge that our success is primarily due to QBE's talented, worldwide team – individuals from across the globe all working to deliver consistently high levels of quality and service to their customers, wherever they may be in the world. And as an IT Graduate with us in 2008, you have the chance to be part of this team, and really take off with QBE.
Our core business is to sell comprehensive insurance solutions to a diverse customer base and pay their claims efficiently. In doing this and doing it extremely well, our staff enjoy working with a huge variety of people, claims, products and markets. Our diversity and reach is pivotal to our success and quite simply, it keeps us at the leading edge of what we do. Hence, it's a busy, high performing, results-driven environment where professional people feel proud to be working with a high performing business, and with some of the leading technologies and best practices in the world. It is QBE's geographic spread and product diversification that is of great benefit not only to our customers but to our employees as well.
As an IT Graduate with QBE in 2008, you'll join the team at QBE based at either Sydney City office or Homebush (all QBE locations are accessible via public transport) and throughout the Program rotate to different business areas, so you'll get a real taste of what it's like at QBE! Regardless of location however, we are a motivated, results driven and quality focussed team who are flexible in approach and open in communication. We want graduates who fit and understand our culture and essential behaviours, and who are both challenged and excited by working with some of the worlds most sophisticated technologies in a progressive and supportive environment.
Remember, once you're through the recruitment process, there will be ample opportunity to meet your fellow Graduates and IT colleagues beforehand at a variety of organised events where we'll all start to get to know each other a bit better, making your transition to QBE in 2008 seamless and stress-free.
