What you'll do

  1. Identify, analyze and assess corporate risks and risks associated with the Company’s sites, projects and energy assets, including wind farms, photovoltaic plants, hydroelectric power plants, hybridization and energy storage facilities, as well as their associated transformation and evacuation infrastructure. This includes assessing natural, technical, operational and environmental risks throughout the development, construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning phases, and proposing prevention and mitigation measures aimed at reducing exposure and improving insurability conditions.
  2. Analyze the insurance needs of the Company and its projects, assessing policy coverage, limits, sub-limits, deductibles and exclusions, as well as their scope and implications across the various corporate and project insurance programs, including Property Damage and Business Interruption, Construction and Erection, General, Professional and Environmental Liability, D&O, Cyber, Motor and other applicable lines of insurance. Identify coverage gaps, overlaps and uninsured or uninsurable exposures.
  3. Review agreements entered into with third parties, including Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), supply, Operation and Maintenance (O&M), Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), service agreements, financing agreements and other commercial arrangements. Analyze the risks and liabilities assumed by the Company, their insurability and any potential uncovered exposures, and propose amendments to liability caps, indemnities, insurance clauses and other provisions related to risk allocation and transfer, in accordance with corporate standards.
  4. Participate in the tendering, placement and renewal of insurance programs, coordinating with leading insurance brokers to obtain quotations and comparing technical and financial proposals, including costs, deductibles, retentions and residual exposure, in order to formulate recommendations aimed at optimizing insurance protection and the overall cost of risk.
  5. Collaborate with the relevant departments in project and corporate financing, acquisition and divestment processes (M&A), participating in risk and insurance due diligence, reviewing insurance obligations and assessing the coverage required by financing institutions or necessary for the relevant transactions, including, where applicable, Warranty & Indemnity / Representations & Warranties (W&I/R&W) insurance.
  6. Collect, review and update the insured values of assets, coordinating their reporting to brokers and insurers and the corresponding adjustments to insurance programs.
  7. Monitor and manage the documentation and financial aspects of international insurance programs, including individual and international program policies, endorsements, certificates, renewals, underwriting, premiums and payments.
  8. Participate in claims management, including particularly complex or high-value claims, analyzing the applicable coverage terms, loss-adjuster assessments and proposed indemnities. Coordinate the collection and review of technical and financial documentation, monitor claims and liaise with brokers, loss adjusters, insurers and other parties involved, contributing to the appropriate recovery of insured losses through to final resolution and settlement.
  9. Prepare and maintain corporate and project risk reports, matrices and registers, as well as tools for monitoring insurance programs, claims experience, mitigation measures and outstanding matters, providing relevant information to support decision-making and the department’s management control.
