President, RT Environmental & Construction Professional
RT SPECIALTY
Specialty: Environmental and construction-related professional liability
Jeff Slivka leads the production/broking operations at RT Environmental & Construction Professional, helping to establish the strategic direction and vision for the practice. His expertise includes construction-related professional liability insurance, environmental liability insurance and the risk management services associated with each.
Slivka has spent more than 30 years developing his skills at Aon, Gallagher and ECS/XL Environmental. He has assisted more than half of Engineering News-Record’s Top 400 Contractors with managing environmental and/or professional liability. He has helped businesses address emerging concerns such as building information modeling, indoor air quality, and sustainable design and construction. And he conducts seminars on topics including integrated project delivery, environmental risk management, project delivery systems, professional risk in construction, and construction-related professional and environmental liability insurance products.
“It has been challenging getting traditional contractors to realize that they, too, like environmental contractors, have environmental risk on every project,” Slivka says. “Early on, many didn’t believe such risks existed for traditional contractors, but through years of education, communication and resilience, today the majority of contractors now agree.”
