What the day will look like

Aon’s Global Natural Resources practice is seeking an experienced Energy Risk Engineer to support our expanding portfolio of downstream, midstream, petrochemical, refining, LNG, and specialty chemical clients. This role bridges real-world operational experience with insurance risk engineering, helping clients reduce loss exposures, strengthen reliability, and align with insurer expectations for complex energy risks.

Key Responsibilities

Risk Engineering & Loss Control

- Conduct property risk engineering surveys at refining, petrochemical, gas processing, midstream, terminals, and specialty chemical facilities.

- Evaluate fire, explosion, natural catastrophe, mechanical integrity, and business interruption exposures.

- Assess process safety, asset integrity, reliability programs, and management-of-change systems.

- Develop clear, prioritized risk-improvement recommendations aligned with NFPA, API, OSHA PSM, CCPS, and other global standards.

Insurance & Technical Advisory

- Translate complex plant operations into insurance-ready engineering reports, including EML/MFL/BI exposure analyses.

- Support Aon brokers and client teams on renewal strategy, risk positioning, and market presentations.

- Communicate risk insights and mitigation strategies directly with underwriters and client leadership.

- Quantify the financial impact of risk improvements and support clients in decision-making.

Client Engagement & Thought Leadership

- Build and maintain strong relationships with facility leadership (PSM, maintenance, reliability, operations).

- Deliver training and guidance on loss prevention, emergency response, and reliability optimization.

- Contribute to Aon thought leadership: technical articles, benchmarking, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

- Collaborate with Aon’s global engineering community on complex risks and emerging technologies.

How this opportunity is different

You will support underwriting submissions, conduct global site assessments, prepare property loss-control recommendations, and partner closely with Aon brokers and clients to deliver industry-leading risk insights.

Skills and experience that will lead to success

Required

- 10+ years of engineering experience within petrochemical, refining, midstream, LNG, ammonia/fertilizer, polymers, or specialty chemical operations.

- Background in Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or Process Safety/PSM.

- Strong understanding of PSM, RMP, mechanical integrity, rotating/fixed equipment, utilities, emergency systems, and reliability methodologies (RBI, RCM, LOPA/SIL).

- Ability to produce structured, client-ready technical reports.

- Willing and able to travel domestically and internationally (circa 80 days / year).

Who Succeeds in This Role

- Engineers who enjoy plant operations but want a more strategic, consultative path.

- Professionals who thrive on variety—no two clients or risks are identical.

- Strong communicators who can bridge operations language and insurance language.

- Self-driven, curious thinkers with a passion for safety, reliability, and loss prevention.
