Additionally, you will collaborate with underwriting teams to help with risk selection and retention.

Zurich's Risk Engineering team of property specialists provide detailed risk assessments of our customers' facilities focusing on fire protection, special hazards, natural catastrophe exposures, and the like to ultimately help protect our customers and Zurich from losses. Participants go through a structured 28-week training program, which includes mentoring and technical support with on-the-job training that gives them the technical and real-life perspective to understand the role of Risk Engineer.
