Industrial & Manufacturing Engineer PI Insurance

Industrial and manufacturing engineers provide advice that directly affects production output, product quality, and workplace safety. If your plant design, process engineering, or automation advice leads to production failures, quality issues, or safety incidents, claims from manufacturers can be substantial - often based on lost production value.

Production line designs that don't achieve specified outputs are a common source of claims. Process engineering errors causing product quality failures, automation systems that underperform, and workplace layout advice that creates safety issues can all generate significant liability.

Process engineering advice - including production flow design, equipment selection, and efficiency consulting - can be covered by Professional Indemnity insurance. If production targets aren't met or processes fail to deliver as specified, claims can arise from your engineering advice. We work with specialist underwriters to confirm what your policy covers based on your specific scope of work.

Cover of $2M-$10M is common for industrial and manufacturing engineers, though the right level depends on the scale of projects you work on and the clients you advise. Large facility designs, high-value production systems, and work with major manufacturers may require higher limits. We help you assess what's appropriate for your practice.

Engineering advice on workplace safety systems, layouts, and hazard controls can be covered under PI insurance. If your safety engineering advice proves inadequate and a workplace incident occurs, claims may arise alleging your professional advice contributed to the unsafe conditions. Coverage depends on your specific policy terms, which we help you review carefully.
