• Report Writing – Ability to produce clear, structured and professional reports, articulating technical findings, loss scenarios and recommendations
• Stakeholder Engagement – Working with insureds, insurers, brokers and technical experts across the region
• Site Visits – Attending loss sites across the Middle East where required
• Reporting – Assisting in the preparation of clear, structured reports and recommendations on complex claims

• Oil & Gas Background – Experience within upstream, midstream or downstream operations, engineering, maintenance, or project environments
• Technical Expertise – Strong understanding of energy assets, processes and operational risk
• Commercial Awareness – Interest in developing a career within insurance and claims management
• Analytical Thinking – Ability to assess complex scenarios and translate technical detail into clear outcomes
• Communication Skills – Confident engaging with a range of stakeholders across different cultures and environments
