When collisions happen between vehicles, it’s your job to investigate. It’s interesting and challenging work that calls for qualified experts.

Do you hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering and are passionate about failure analysis, forensic investigation, and identifying the root cause?

The Company

My client boasts extensive experience in delivering diverse forensic investigation services and root cause analyses for the insurance and risk management sectors, along with the legal field. With offices both in the UK and internationally, they employ seasoned scientists and engineers who conduct investigations across the globe.

The Role

You’ll examine the scenes & vehicles involved, and make sure all evidence is recorded. In many cases, this requires sophisticated mapping and photographic equipment. Ensuring meticulous collection, preservation, and interpretation of evidence, including vehicle defects and telematic data, is essential to report on collision circumstances accurately. You’ll then produce reconstruction reports that explain how events unfolded. Identifying the need for additional resources or specialist knowledge to aid forensic examination or reconstruction is crucial for informed decision-making. As a qualified expert, you’ll be presenting your findings in court. You need to speak clearly, and confidently and explain technical information backed up with a comprehensive and unbiased report

Effective communication, both internally and externally, through daily interactions, including face-to-face meetings, telephone/video conferences, and emails, is essential for information exchange, progress discussions, and pursuing relevant actions related to investigations and unit business.

Ideally, you will:

• Hold a good honours degree in an engineering or science-based field
• Be progressing towards Chartered status in a specific discipline at a minimum
• Possess a higher degree through study or research (e.g., MSc or PhD), which is desirable
• Be capable of completing a day's worth of site work, which may include physical exertion
