Full Job Description

# Are you our new Risk Engineer? Probably one of the most interesting engineering positions, if you ask us. Insurance is nothing less than one of the main pillars of most businesses and If provides insurance products our clients need, but we are also managing risks together with our clients. In the best of worlds, large losses due to fire or machinery breakdown never occur, but they do, and that is why our Risk Engineers are so important. Most of our clients are large Nordic based multinational organizations that set very high standards for their Risk Management operations. We provide guidance and help in this broad landscape of risk exposures and work together on how we can reduce risk. To put this in an even broader perspective as part of our responsibility to society; preventing losses also prevents pollution and exploitation of scarce resources when rebuilding after a loss. Loss prevention is crucial for If’s sustainability strategy as any loss will contribute to increased environmental impact. Together with our clients we will do our best to avoid this. ## ## **About the role** As a Risk Engineer, you will visit our client’s sites to survey, assess and document their risk exposures. In your role, you will primarily work with fire, electrical and machinery risks, but also any risks that can cause physical losses. Providing professional advice on loss prevention is a central part of the work. You will be using our tools for risk assessments and client consultations based on Nordic and International standards. You will also be able to participate in development projects within the Risk Engineering area and act as a central part of technical advisory in keeping us up to date on developing and emerging risks – to be an integral part of keeping us ahead in understanding the risks we write. We are working in close cooperation with underwriters, sales, and claims units in Client Teams. Together our focus is to support our clients on property and business interruption r
