Aviation Surveyor
The role of the Aviation Surveyor & Loss Adjuster is varied, technical, analytical and highly international in nature.
Working primarily on behalf of insurers and reinsurers in the global aviation market, successful candidates will investigate aircraft incidents and accidents, assess technical and financial exposures, and support the management and resolution of complex aviation claims.
Assignments range from general aviation claims through to catastrophic hull losses involving international airlines. Typical projects include turbine engine damage, bird strikes, lightning strikes, hard landings, tail strikes, runway excursions, ramp incidents, propeller strikes and component failures.
While certain assignments may require attendance at accident sites, maintenance facilities or engine overhaul shops, the role is principally focused on the technical and commercial management of aviation claims, including investigation oversight, stakeholder coordination and client advisory work.
Aviation insurance touches virtually every part of the industry, including airlines, airports, maintenance organisations, manufacturers, ground handling companies, lessors and infrastructure providers. As a result, the role provides exposure to a uniquely broad range of operational, technical and commercial issues across the global aviation sector.
For engineers looking to broaden their career beyond traditional maintenance environments, aviation loss adjusting and surveying offers an opportunity to apply technical expertise in a commercially focused and internationally exposed role, with involvement in complex investigations, claim strategy and stakeholder management.

- An interest in technical problem solving, claims management and client engagement
- The confidence to engage directly with clients and industry stakeholders
