Assistant Underwriter, Renewable Energy

About kWh Analytics

kWh Analytics is insuring the energy transition. We underwrite property insurance and revenue firming products for renewable energy assets. Our proprietary database of 300,000+ zero-carbon projects and $150B in loss data supports advanced modeling, insights, and precise risk assessment for renewable energy, mixed energy, and low-carbon projects. 

In March 2026, Beazley, a leading specialty insurer, agreed to acquire kWh Analytics. Beazley believes that the global energy transition is a significant strategic growth opportunity and is focused on underwriting the complex risks that will enable the transition. kWh Analytics will add scalability and enhance Beazley’s capabilities in modelling, underwriting and risk management across renewable energy portfolios.

The Role

We are looking for a full-time Assistant Underwriter to support the Property Insurance team through risk assessment, submission triage, clearance, agent/broker follow-up, modeling, and associated administrative support throughout the policy lifecycle. You will also be responsive to marketing, underwriting, retention, and service standards that support a quality book of business.

What you likely need to do the job well

• Underwriting experience: You’re familiar with property insurance, having worked in an underwriting support role or as an underwriter for 1-3 years, writing all risk insurance coverage. Natural catastrophe underwriting experience or experience with Nat Cat modeling is a plus. 
• Critical thinker: You quickly synthesize large volumes of (often conflicting) information and develop a thesis. You can clearly articulate your proposal with supporting data. 
• Self-starter: You can work independently in a remote environment and anticipate the next step in the workflow. You know when to ask for help, but also trust your analytical frameworks.
• A thinker and a doer: You can hold multiple stakeholders’ perspectives in your head, devise a solution, and then rapidly build consensus around that solution.
• Excel proficiency: You know your way around a spreadsheet and can leverage Excel to process submissions efficiently.
• Customer service focus: You view and approach KWH partners with a relationship mindset of being responsive and working together to solve problems.
• Effective Communication: You clearly convey updates and competing priorities to the Underwriters.
