Description:
Risk Engineer - Electrical Infrastructure (Renewables)
Central London | Hybrid (3 days p/w in office) ✈️ International Travel | £55,000-£60,000
Matchtech are seeking a Risk Engineer on behalf of a Global Leader in Commercial & Speciality insurance as they grow their UK Risk Engineering Team.
Known for its technical, engineering‑led approach and international footprint, the business partners with clients across power, energy, and large‑scale infrastructure. They're now seeking a Risk Engineer with strong electrical engineering foundations to support risk assessments across a diverse global portfolio.
What You'll Be Doing
Conducting technical risk assessments across electrical infrastructure assets, power systems, and complex industrial environments.
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
risk.
Reviewing electrical systems, HV/LV equipment, substations, and grid‑connected assets
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 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
