PermanentBuild a brilliant future with Hiscox
The team
Hiscox have been writing their energy book as part of the wider Marine, Energy & Specialty (MES) Division within Hiscox London Market for many years and is viewed as one of the leading markets in the class. The energy portfolio is written alongside Marine Hull & War, Marine Cargo and Marine & Energy Liabilities.
Starting off as separate and distinct Power and Upstream teams, we have diversified our product offering in line with the requirements of our clients, the market and the broader ‘Energy Transition’. The energy lines at Hiscox now underwrite a broad spectrum of the energy value chain including Upstream, Midstream, Downstream, Renewables and Power. Whilst we underwrite out of London, we have a truly global footprint and a broad underwriting appetite. Our team is currently comprised of 9 underwriters who are closely supported by a team of engineering, claims, pricing, exposure management and operations personnel.
The key to our success is our deep technical understanding of the products we sell and the activities our clients perform which enable us to identify the best risks and differentiate ourselves from our competitors. This is your opportunity to become part of it and help influence and shape our offering.
The role
We are looking for an experienced underwriter to add to our Renewables & Power offering, predominantly to underwrite a broad book of renewable energy risks. Whilst the role will have a broad remit the key focus will be on the onshore segment.
The key to success in this role will be a detailed underwriting approach with a strong grasp of the technical aspects of this class and a good understanding of market practices. The right candidate should be able to underwrite independently, and also work on portfolio level tasks like performance analysis, rating adequacy, exposure management etc. The role also requires strong relationship management, organisational skills and the ability to think ahead and use initiative. You will need to demonstrate a skill for working and building relationships with brokers and clients, and driving these towards profitable business.
We have big ambitions in the energy classes, so we’re looking for someone who is tenacious, with a proven capability of developing a portfolio whilst providing exceptional service to our brokers and clients.

Person Specification
Diversity & Hybrid Working
At Hiscox we care about our people. We hire the best people for the job and we’re committed to diversity and creating a truly inclusive culture, which we believe drives success.
We have also learned that working life doesn’t always have to be in the office, so we have introduced hybrid working to encourage a healthy work life balance.
This hybrid working model is set by the team rather than the business to enable you to manage your own personal work-life balance. We see it as the best of both worlds; structure and sociability on one hand, and independence and flexibility on the other.
