Assistant Underwriter Energy Transition
AXA XL is looking for an Assistant Underwriter with experience in Energy / Renewables LOBs to support the Underwriting team in writing Renewable risks as part of an overall energy transition (ET) business portfolio.
The energy transition is integral to the drive towards a more sustainable global economy. Supporting the transition is a key part of our climate and sustainability strategy at AXA XL
AXA XLs energy transition work begins naturally with the energy portfolio but this is a drive that affects the entire economy. And to help enable this transition there are in effect three pillars that our energy transition activities and ambitions must straddle; products and services; distribution; and capability and learning and development.
This is a difficult area for underwriting; it will require an agile mindset balancing a portfolio approach with the fundamentals of underwriting whilst maintaining a keen eye on profitability. The right candidate will be able to draw upon a solid background of technical underwriting in engineering / renewables / power or a similarly complex line of business.
AXA XL has been underwriting coverage for renewable energy projects particularly solar wind and hydroelectric operations for some years now. And we are actively working with clients to provide coverage for a wide range of renewable energy technologies and operations from windfarms to hydrogen production to bioenergy to carbon capture underground storage (CCUS) and many others.
The ET book will be the cornerstone to helping to meet AXA XLs netzero underwriting goals and a key contributor to its wider energy transition journey. It will be important to be visible and approachable to brokers and clients alike. Effective verbal and written communication skills along with collaborative behaviour will be essential to the role.
This is a regulated role under the Central Bank of Irelands Fitness and Probity regime.
