Director - UK Construction Projects Insurance - Flexible Location
Do you want to work for a specialist practice that is one Aon's strategic priorities providing risk solutions to businesses across a large number of sectors within the UK? Does establishing internal connections and developing client relationships at the highest level appeal to you? If so, we'd love to hear from you in connection with this brand-new, hybrid, opportunity which provides the flexibility to work both virtually and from any of our UK offices.
Aon is in the business of better decisions
At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.
What the day will look like
As a Director in our UK Construction practice you will:
-
Unlock construction project opportunities from within Aon's internal network and prospects database and identify their needs, positioning Aon as the logical partner through strong sector knowledge, benchmarking (including GRIP), and professional articulation of Aon’s risk solutions.

Ensure full compliance with Aon Business Rules, FCA regulations, and all statutory requirements.
