The world becomes increasingly complex, unpredictable, and inter-connected. To manage and mitigate the risks every business faces, clients need a robust global partner.

AXA XL offers customized risk management solutions and consulting services to understand and quantify the risks each company faces today, or may face in the future. We help clients avoid preventable losses and minimize the impacts of events beyond their control.

Our clients operate in different facilities in a variety of locations and in many geographies. At AXA XL, we help them create a comprehensive overview of the risks they're facing, with details on exposures and constraints they might encounter locally. We're there to identify how these risks fit into their corporate risk management strategy and support them to determine and prioritize investments needed to control these risks.

In a world ever more complex and unpredictable, insurers need effective risk management and clients need a robust partner to improve their risk profile. This is an exciting opportunity to join a global Risk Consulting team to help support our customers and give clients the ability to thrive.

What will your essential responsibilities include?

1. Carry out technical risk analysis of construction risks and natural catastrophe events inherent in the construction of large projects for the Underwriting, Claims, and external clients.
2. Support and advise underwriters to enable them to better understand the risks they write and to reduce the frequency and likelihood of claims for AXA XL.
3. Collaborate with the Global Construction Risk Consulting team as well as industry experts across other lines of business such as Property, Energy, Machinery Breakdown, and Marine.
4. Conduct loss prevention surveys on site including prospects, underwritten construction project visits, and post-claim surveys.
5. Deliver survey reports, risk gradings, and loss estimate scenarios: prepare loss prevention reports following a visit containing a detailed risk analysis.
6. Participate in Underwriting tender bids.
7. Provide on-demand technical assistance for customers.
8. Contribute to the development of internal technical procedures and standards, with the help of the AXA XL RC technical board.
9. Contribute to the training and continuous development of AXA XL Risk Consulting engineers.

You will report to the Head of Risk Consulting, UK.

We're looking for someone who has these abilities and skills:

1. Engineering background with extensive working experience in the construction domain (as contractor, designer, loss adjuster, or external checker).
2. Specialist for Construction Risks. You will also have knowledge of the British standards (UK standards, Eurocodes, and Building Regulations).
3. Excellent communicator, with the ability to communicate with people across all levels of clients' organizations.
4. Analytical skills enabling the role holder to conduct risk assessments using construction plans and specifications, as well as during site visits.
5. Excellent report writing capabilities.
6. A degree from a major construction or civil engineering university is highly beneficial.
