Insurance Specialist

Are you motivated by the idea of helping to deliver one of the most ambitious scientific projects in the world?

At the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), we’re building something extraordinary — not just in science and engineering, but in the way we work together. As an Insurance Specialist at SKAO, you’ll be at the heart of this extraordinary journey. Our Procurement and Insurance team plays a central role in turning vision into reality, ensuring that every contract, partnership, and purchase supports our mission to build and operate the world’s most advanced radio telescopes.

SKAO operates internationally across multiple jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Australia. The Insurance Specialist will manage the organisation’s insurance portfolio, ensuring that the Observatory maintains appropriate coverage to support its diverse activities, which include construction, logistics, operations, and international collaboration.

Working closely with internal stakeholders, brokers, and insurers, you will help ensure SKAO’s activities are supported by suitable insurance programmes and that claims are managed effectively when they arise.
