Overview

An opportunity for a civil engineer to work for a global insurance consultancy in their highly respected engineering and construction risk division. They are the firm of choice for leading insurers and brokers, providing critical expert advice on complex civil engineering risks. This position focuses on high value transportation infrastructure.

Company Profile: A successful and long established insurance consultancy. Their expertise spans civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and process engineering disciplines, with a focus on providing advice for CAR (Contractors All Risks) and EAR (Erection All Risks) insurance policies. This well managed business offers excellent terms and conditions of employment, a friendly and supportive work environment and genuine career opportunity.

Your Role: Your job title will be Civil Risk Engineer, and you will be providing advice on the risks associated with large and complex civil engineering works, with a particular emphasis on major bridge and tunnel projects. Assignments typically include long span bridges, immersed tube tunnels, metro expansions and  underground works across Europe, South East Asia, Latin America, the USA and the Middle East. International travel is usually required once per month. You will provide practical, real world insight — offering front end advice to underwriters and risk managers, and then monitoring the progress of insured projects as they move through construction.

Profile Required: A bilingual Spanish / English speaker, and chartered civil engineer with a background that includes major bridge and tunnel projects. This experience may have been gained with a contractor, consultant or client organisation. A sound understanding of the construction process, buildability issues and programming is essential, and some site based experience is required. The position calls for a senior level engineer with ten plus years’ experience and a mix of technical, practical and communication skills. Previous civil engineering risk or insurance related experience is advantageous but not essential. Fluent Spanish is required, given the volume of work across Latin America. You will need to be a British citizen, or have permanent resident status or a valid UK work visa.
