Job Details

Aon is looking for a Consultant, Natural Hazards & Climate Resilience, Account Management

Business resilience is the strategic planning and execution of activities to identify, mitigate and recover from adversity and shock. It is the commitment to continuously evaluate and learn from past events and improve preparedness and response in the future. Property risks have a significant impact on business resilience, and everyone is subject to losses from fire or natural hazards.

Fuelled by fast-paced nature of technological, societal, and environmental forces, these risks mean that organizations need unparalleled industry-focused data and analytics and tools to build better risk resiliency, efficiently match capital to risk, and strategically navigate new forms of volatility.

The Natural Hazards and Climate Resilience Consultant is responsible for evaluating and managing risks related to natural hazards and climate change affecting properties, infrastructure, and operations.

This role involves conducting hazard assessments, developing loss estimates and risk mitigation strategies, supporting underwriting or project teams, and communicating technical findings to clients or stakeholders.
