Natural Resources

Natural Resources is one of the most globally significant sectors in the insurance market. From renewable energy projects and utility networks to oil and gas operations, the industry powers economies, supports communities, and enables the infrastructure that keeps the world moving.

As an Analyst in this space, you'll work with organizations tackling some of today's biggest challenges and opportunities - including energy security, infrastructure resilience, climate adaptation, and the transition to cleaner energy sources. No two clients are the same, giving you exposure to a wide range of businesses, risks, and projects that shape the future of the global energy landscape.

If you're curious about global markets, enjoy solving complex problems, and want to build a career where you can make a tangible impact, Natural Resources offers an exciting and rewarding place to start.

Our Graduate Program

You'll join a 12-month development experience designed for recent graduates ready to build a meaningful career in insurance. From day one, you'll build an understanding of how different risks are assessed, placed, and managed, while developing the technical and commercial skills needed to advise clients effectively.

Throughout the program, you'll develop the technical knowledge, commercial awareness, and professional skills needed to succeed in a broking career. Your experience will include structured learning, professional development workshops, networking opportunities, mentoring, and access to senior leaders through speaker events and interactive sessions.
