    JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

    Travelers has built a solid reputation as a leading insurance company and employs some of the most talented, passionate people in the industry and provides endless opportunities for those willing to reach for them. With over 105 years of experience in property risk control and safety management, plus leading industrial hygiene, fire and forensics laboratories, Travelers Risk Control has the expertise to provide customers with recommendations to help control hazards and reduce risks of property damage or injury. If you’re driven and passionate about what you do and work each day to make an impact, you might be interested in an opportunity with Travelers.

    An engineer or scientist in a Digital Forensic Specialist position at the Travelers Laboratory is assigned cases that come from our Claim Department. These claims come about because of some type of incident that may have caused damage to property or injuries. The job of the digital forensic specialist is to provide the ability to gather and preserve digital evidence from electronic devices, motor vehicles, smart phones, social media and the internet to help the investigative team gain a technical understanding for how and why an event occurred. The types of claims are highly varied and often require a multi-disciplined approach to their investigation. Claim investigations may require field inspections to collect digital evidence from equipment.

    Occasionally these claims are resolved through litigation and in that process, experts are called upon to render opinions through reports, testimony or both. These opinions help a judge and jury to understand the matter and make an informed decision. Travelers’ Laboratory Digital Forensic Specialists participate in this process in a few different ways. They may be the actual expert, they may act as a consultant and assist the testifying expert, attorney or claim professional, or they may work in the background doing research and testing. It all depends on the case and how to best use the resources at hand. In any of these, the ability to communicate findings to non-technical staff verbally and in writing is highly valued.

    Positions are available in Windsor, CT. Subsidized apartments are available for students who live beyond a commutable distance (50 miles) from Hartford, CT. Housing assistance is not available for all other locations. Positions are available early June through the end of the summer. This 10-12 week, paid position is an in-person experience.
