Risk Engineer – Electrical Infrastructure (Renewables)
Central London | Hybrid (3 days per week in office) International Travel | £55,000-£60,000
Matchtech is seeking a Risk Engineer on behalf of a global leader in commercial and specialty 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 are looking for 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 within grid operators, DNOs, electrical infrastructure, and 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.
