By imparting knowledge of potential risks and offering viable solutions, you'll contribute to the overarching goal of reducing risk and losses. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the broader professional community by researching, producing, and disseminating technical guidance aimed at enhancing the knowledge base of clients and colleagues alike. Join us and make a real impact in shaping risk management practices while advancing your own technical expertise in a dynamic and supportive environment.


This Risk Engineer role is known internally as Loss Control Surveyor.

Have proven experience in surveying and consulting within commercial settings, showcasing your high attention to detail and your ability to assess and mitigate risks effectively.
Possess extremely strong communication skills, with a talent for engaging customers and stakeholders, influencing decisions, and negotiating outcomes.
Have the ability to interpret underwriting requirements accurately, ensuring alignment with risk management strategies.
Have proven experience and knowledge gained from roles in Underwriting, Claims, Surveying, Commercial Engineering, or related disciplines, providing a solid foundation for success in this position.
