We’re looking for a motivated and skilled Renewable Energy Underwriter who can write profitable new business, manage risks, and contribute to shaping the underwriting strategy of our growing renewable energy portfolio.
If you’re passionate about clean energy and bring a commercial mindset to underwriting, this is a dynamic role with room to grow.

• Collaborate with actuarial, claims, legal, and risk teams to ensure holistic risk assessment.
• Monitor portfolio performance and contribute to strategic underwriting decisions.
• Stay updated on market trends, regulatory changes, and innovations in renewable energy technology.
• Identify new business opportunities and contribute to product development when relevant.

What I'm Looking For

• 3–7+ years of underwriting experience, ideally with exposure to renewable energy or power & infrastructure risks.
• A proven track record of writing profitable business and building strong broker relationships.
• A solid understanding of renewable energy risk, across both the construction and operational phases.
• Commercially-minded with strong negotiation and analytical skills.
• Able to work independently, but also thrive in a collaborative cross-functional environment.
• Ideally, experience with both domestic and international energy markets.

What’s On Offer

• A competitive base salary + bonus + benefits package.
• A visible role in a growth-focused underwriting team.
• Flexibility to work remotely or in a hybrid setup.
