Risk Engineer at Zurich Insurance assessing property fire and natural hazard risks for underwriting.

United Kingdom
Message

At Zurich Insurance, I assess property fire and natural hazard risks through site visits and desktop reviews, supporting underwriting decisions with practical risk-improvement advice. I achieved the Institution of Fire Engineers’ Q2P designation for Fire and Natural Hazard underwriting support.

During my Operations rotation at Zurich Insurance, I supported projects across finance systems, automation, and internal tooling. I finalised a module for an internal finance application, mapped business processes in Visio, and developed a business case for an AI productivity tool.

In the Energy team, I completed desktop risk assessments and took part in early planning for a Carbon Capture initiative. I’m studying for an MSc in Risk and Safety Leadership at the University of Portsmouth, following a BEng in Chemical Engineering from The University of Manchester.
