Your Responsibilities

Lockton Global Energy is a cohesive and collaborative global team of handpicked energy specialists. Harnessing deep expertise, we act as a trusted partner to our clients, securing cost effective, bespoke insurance and risk solutions. As an independent broker, we're not led by profit margins and shareholder demands, allowing us to always put our client's interests first.

Founded in 2014, Lockton Global Energy is a specialty business focused on the Oil, Gas, Power and Renewables businesses. It has grown significantly over the past 10 years to include over 300 energy specialists across 35 countries, with over USD1.1bn of premium placed across our Energy divisions.

Lockton Power's specialist power generation team provides insurance solutions for a range of operational risks that owners of power plants regularly face. This capital-intensive sector faces increasing pressure from evolving electricity market demand patterns and, as a result, firms require insurance solutions that can evolve alongside them.

The rise of renewables and the erosion of traditional base load markets have brought new participants into the power generation space. These require reliable insurance risk transfer solutions that respond to the needs of both equity investors and finance parties. With close market proximity and depth of experience, Lockton is uniquely placed to offer unparalleled risk advice and cost-effective, reliable cover that responds the moment clients need it.

The Power team works closely with the Renewable Energy team; while this opportunity is focused on Power, there will be an opportunity to develop experience on the renewable side of the team also.

As a Broker in the Power team, you will join our successful team of Brokers and Account Executives to provide innovative, detailed and best practice service for clients across a wide-ranging portfolio, including Construction All Risks, Delay in Start Up, Property Damage and Business Interruption policies.

Alongside core broking activities, you will be exposed to new business generation, tender presentations and working with our existing client base to identify business development opportunities. Throughout this, you'll build a detailed understanding of our clients' needs, applying this knowledge to seek innovative ways to create added value and differentiators during the placement process.

As a global company, there will be plenty of opportunities for cross-selling across all Energy specialisms and the wider business lines we operate in. There will also be opportunities to travel to meet clients and colleagues across the global team. What is most important to us is your ability to understand what our clients need and provide a bespoke service to ensure these needs are met in the best possible way.
