They're now seeking a Risk Engineer with strong electrical engineering foundations to support risk assessments across a diverse global portfolio.

• Travelling internationally to perform on-site evaluations across multiple continents
• Producing clear, high-quality engineering reports to support underwriting decisions
• Engaging directly with clients, operators, and internal stakeholders to understand operational

• Supporting the wider risk engineering team on cross-sector projects, including renewables where relevant

What You'll Bring:

• A strong foundation in Electrical Engineering (degree or equivalent experience)
• Experience from:

Grid Operators

DNOs / Electrical Infrastructure

Power Generation Environments

• Hands-on exposure to electrical systems, substations, power plants, or similar operational environments
• The ability to translate technical detail into clear, commercially relevant insights
• Comfort with international travel and client-facing work
• Renewables experience (Solar, Wind, BESS etc) is a bonus, but not essential

Who This Role Suits

This is ideal for someone who enjoys technical engineering but wants broader exposure than a traditional site-based role. You'll thrive here if you're analytical, inquisitive, and excited by the idea of seeing infrastructure projects around the world.

Engineers from grid, DNO, power plant, or electrical infrastructure backgrounds tend to transition extremely well
