Risk Control Field Director
Manage a group of engineers / consultants who are engaged in risk assessment and risk improvement
As a Field Director, I collaborate with our business partners on a daily basis to help with account selection, acquisition and retention. During the process we may determine the need for an onsite, online or on-demand risk assessment. I then select the right consultant for the assessment and ensure the assessment is done in a timely fashion. We then provide adequate information to our underwriters to help them make more knowledgeable pricing decisions.

Make sure you take advantage of the internship opportunities available at the insurance companies that are involved with your college. Become a student member of the American Society of Safety Engineers and network with members.
