- Aftercare & Risk Improvement Tracking: Own the post-survey journey, working closely with retail and wholesale brokers to ensure policyholders understand, complete, and submit evidence for required risk recommendations.
- Compliance Verification & Sign-off: Review client-submitted evidence (such as photos, safety certificates, and testing logs) to verify compliance, issuing formal Completion Reports to underwriters or flagging outstanding requirements.
- Relationship & Portfolio Management: Build strong, collaborative working relationships across broker network and underwriting teams, keeping files moving through friendly, structured, and consistent follow-ups.
Skills & Competencies

- Experience in insurance administration, underwriting support, claims, or risk management is helpful, though drive, communication skills, and willingness to learn are prioritized.
- A strong desire to build a long-term career in risk engineering and field surveying.
- Includes full financial backing and study support to achieve industry-standard NEBOSH qualifications alongside direct senior risk engineer mentorship.
