About the role
This interview tests how you investigate physical and operational exposures before an insurer accepts or renews a risk. The panel will look for disciplined site inspection, practical engineering judgement, clear reporting for underwriters and recommendations that reflect the actual loss scenario.
How to prepare
- Revise a structured approach to inspecting construction, occupancy, protection and surrounding exposures.
- Prepare examples involving fire, machinery breakdown, security or business interruption risks.
- Practise turning observations into a loss scenario, risk view and prioritised recommendation.
- Review how you record access limitations, missing evidence and material changes at a site.
- Think through safe visit planning for an unfamiliar industrial or commercial location.
Common mistakes
- Listing hazards without explaining the resulting loss scenario or possible severity.
- Copying standard recommendations that do not fit the site or its controls.
- Presenting unverified statements from site staff as observed facts.
- Ignoring business interruption dependencies while focusing only on physical damage.
