Working alongside a market-leading team, you will advise major energy clients across the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America, providing technical expertise on programme design, contractual risk transfer, policy wordings and market placement strategy.

The successful individual will become a trusted adviser to clients, insurers and internal stakeholders, helping to deliver innovative insurance solutions across some of the most complex energy risks in the market.

• Review, negotiate and develop policy wordings and coverage structures.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with insurers across London and international markets.
• Support major tender opportunities and project-specific placements.
• Prepare client presentations, renewal reports and market submissions.
• Assist with claims and coverage discussions where required.
• Work closely with clients, brokers, underwriters and other market stakeholders to deliver best-in-class service.

Candidate Profile

• 15+ years' experience within Energy Insurance.
• Strong understanding of Operational Upstream Energy and Offshore Construction risks.
• Proven technical expertise in policy wordings, coverage analysis and programme structuring.
• Experience reviewing commercial contracts and advising on contractual risk transfer.
• Strong relationships with London Market insurers.
• Established connections with overseas energy insurers would be highly advantageous, particularly within the Middle East.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to operate as a senior technical adviser rather than a production-focused broker.

What's on Offer?

• Join one of the most respected Energy teams in the London Market.
• Work on some of the industry's largest and most complex global energy programmes.
• Exposure to major international clients and projects.
• Opportunity to become a recognised technical specialist within the upstream energy sector.
• Collaborative, entrepreneurial and highly successful team environment.
