Our Major and Complex Loss teams are at the heart of our business

Managing the more technical and complex claims ranging from flood damage resulting in Business Interruption to claims associated with catastrophic events. As a Major and Complex Loss Surveyor, you’ll investigate and provide factual surveying reports to our valued Clients and the Major Loss Team Leader within set SLA’s, working in partnership to ensure all factual information is present.

This is a hybrid role and you will be expected to work in the office 2/3 days per week.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Upon receipt of instruction, you’ll investigate and report upon Major and Complex Loss incidents that are subject of an insurance claim for and on behalf of Insurers so as they may consider policy coverage, claim acceptance, settlement and/or recovery. As with most claims of a high value or complex nature, this will require site visits to investigate loss circumstances and damage sustained.

Typically, you’ll work in partnership with Local Authorities, such as building control, solicitors or emergency services in some extremes regarding liability and prospective loss mitigation contractors. You’ll also liaise with repair contactors regarding the scope and the works required and be the main point of contact to ensure assessment and reporting of settlement options and recommendations via the lead adjuster are communicated appropriately.

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.
