Insurance Surveyor / Loss Assessor
Your morning involves visiting a fire-damaged textile factory in Surat, photographing the damage, interviewing the factory owner about the cause and timing of the fire, and reviewing the original stock register to establish the pre-loss inventory value for a marine-cum-fire insurance claim. Afternoons are spent in the office preparing an interim survey report for the insurer, researching material replacement costs, and attending a virtual hearing with the insured's chartered accountant on disputed claim quantum.
