Working as an engineer 

Employees with a degree in construction, mining, process engineering, drilling, chemistry, renewable energy or a comparable qualification with a solid scientific and practical background can choose from a wide range of roles in underwriting. These include underwriting renewable energy risks and onshore installations such as wind farms and refineries. Communication with primary insurers, brokers and researchers is also an important part of your work.

„Like most of my engineering colleagues, I never expected reinsurance to be such an interesting and important field of business. After almost 18 years as an underwriter at Hannover Re, I can say that no two days are the same and I learn something new every day from projects and colleagues all over the world. Engineers have the best chance of becoming excellent underwriters!“
