  • The opportunity
  • Aviva recognizes the importance of being flexible and the benefits of being together, this role will be hybrid – the best of both worlds.In this role, you will serve as an internal technical resource for Aviva, providing expert evaluation and guidance on matters related to structural integrity, design, and failure analysis.

You will collaborate closely with claims professionals, underwriters, and risk management teams to deliver accurate assessments that inform claim decisions, loss mitigation strategies, and underwriting guidelines.

  • Perform building and structural failure investigations and determine the root and cause of failure and damage to buildings, foundations, structures, and building envelope mechanisms.
  • Support our claims professionals, independent adjusters and customers by investigating losses to determine the origin and cause of failures, damages or defects within residential, commercial and industrial sites as well as product, equipment and material failures. You will investigate losses through on-site inspection and forensic evaluation to support claims handling, coverage determination and recovery efforts against third parties.
  • Analyze the failure of building systems, determine the cause of failures, evaluate the quality of construction or review design or maintenance procedures.
  • Assess the physical damage to building components, systems and materials including determination of the extent of damage and required remediation.

  • Guide the technical direction of investigations, including determining when external specialty expertise is required or reviewing external forensic opinions, including conducting peer reviews of external investigations and opinions.
  • Interact with customers to explain the investigation process, gather relevant information, coordinate site access, and communicate findings clearly and professionally without making coverage decisions.
  • You will use your expertise to make decisions on (1) the most plausible reason for a failure based on data; (2) whether the design, installation or maintenance met industry standards or, if appropriate, building codes; (3) whether the loss was due to design error, manufacturing defect, improper maintenance or external factors.
  • Contribute to engineering expertise including multi-disciplinary initiatives or emerging risk areas, as required.
  • Collaborate with other groups on multidisciplinary projects to provide solutions on complex losses and failures.
  • Provide guidance to internal and external partners on operationalizing strategies for engineering services.
