What does a Risk Engineer do?
Risk engineers are the “eyes and ears of the Commercial Underwriter”. While underwriters work to shield businesses from financial losses due to unforeseen incidents, risk engineers are on the front lines. They inspect and assess business premises, offer expert risk management advice, and provide crucial insights into the overall quality of the business. Together, they create a robust defence against potential risks, ensuring businesses stay secure and resilient.
As a Risk Engineer you will get exposure to many different industries and insights into how they manage risks and protect their assets.
What could a rotation look like?
As part of the Graduate program, you will predominately focus on risk engineering and rotate through the following teams:

• Risk Control Team – Develop the skills of risk engineering, including attending site visits with risk consultants, preparing technical internal risk improvement reports for underwriters, reviewing industry reports and establishing loss scenario analysis.
• Underwriting – to understand the role underwriters play in supporting the broker and customer, and the importance of the Risk Engineer and Underwriter relationship. The product you will support will be informed by your skillset and business need.
• Risk Solutions Team - providing external reporting for Insurance Brokers and customers including advice and recommendations; and be involved in small projects.
