Our clients operate in different facilities in a variety of locations and in many geographies. At AXA XL, we help them create a comprehensive overview of the risks they’re facing, with details on exposures and constraints they might encounter locally. We're there to identify how these risks fit into their corporate risk management strategy and support them to determine and prioritize investments needed to control these risks.

In a world ever more complex and unpredictable, insurers need effective risk management and clients need a robust partner to improve their risk profile. This is an exciting opportunity to join a global Risk Consulting team to help support our customers and give clients the ability to thrive.

3. Collaborate with the Global Construction Risk Consulting team as well as industry experts across other lines of business such as Property, Energy, Machinery Breakdown, and Marine.
4. Conduct loss prevention surveys on site including prospects, underwritten construction project visits, and post-claim surveys.
