Commercial Field Investigator

Job Location: United Kingdom

Job Type: Permanent

Remuneration: Competitive salary taking into account skills, experience and qualifications

We have a new opportunity for a Commercial Field investigator to join our Fraud team at Sedgwick.

Commercial Investigations is an integral part of Sedgwick, providing our internal and external clients with fraud management. We do not adopt a one size fits all approach but deliver a cost-effective defence against fraud through screening, conversation management, field investigations and fraud management consultancy.

Part of our work requires skilled and talented individuals to assess certain claims that are potentially fraudulent, so the work is never dull, boring or repetitive. If you have an inquisitive nature and can often solve issues by process of elimination, then this role could well be the one you have been looking for.

The role will be to investigate a portfolio of commercial claims that have been identified as potentially fraudulent. You’ll be responsible for managing your own case load and carrying out necessary investigations and field visits whilst gathering evidence. Additionally, you’ll need to maintain constant contact with our policy holders, making sure you take accurate statements and records. Before each case is closed, you’ll be responsible for completing price enquiries, negotiating settlements, communicating repudiations and issuing reports to insurers.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
