Actuarial Consulting – Pensions

Introduction to the Stream:

UK companies presently have over £1 trillion invested in pension schemes, more than the rest of Europe put together. That’s a breathtaking sum, but the question remains whether individual companies have set aside enough to meet their pensions’ obligations 20, 30 or even 40 years down the line. This question becomes even more pertinent when one company buys another and takes on the liabilities for future pensions.

A market leader in actuarial consulting, Aon has been advising companies and trustees on their pension schemes for over sixty years. Our actuarial consultants specialise in advising our clients on those schemes to help them manage the associated financial and operational risks, now and in the future.

Locations:

Birmingham, Bristol, Farnborough, Epsom, St Albans, Leeds, London, Manchester, Glasgow

The role:

As a Trainee Actuarial Consultant, your tasks will range from the design and day-to-day management of pension schemes, through to corporate transactions and ultimately the final close-down of the plans when risk is passed to a third party. You will be given opportunities to work on various projects and gain early exposure to clients to support your development. As a key member of our dedicated team, you’ll be vital to delivering the high-quality service which our global clients expect.

Training and development:

There will be plenty of on-the-job experience. You'll enjoy core technical and consulting workshops, giving you the skills and competencies needed to continue to provide innovative solutions to meet our clients' needs, as well as building your confidence and experience in proactively managing client relationships.

We want you to be as successful as possible, so we'll fully support your study towards professional qualification as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries. Aon is one of a select group of companies who work with Imperial College to provide a leading-edge alternative to achieving actuarial qualifications through self study. This fully supported programme provides day release for you to study for your actuarial qualifications at Imperial College Business School whilst also achieving the MSc in Actuarial Finance.

The size of our organisation means that we will be able to put you in contact with experts who can help you with specific exam topics. We organise tutorials to give you practical advice on exam techniques, as well as regular reviews that will allow us to highlight your achievements and keep you on track to attain your aspirations.

Requirements:

To apply for this Stream, you must be educated to degree level with a 2:1 or equivalent qualification in a numerate/semi-numerate discipline. Strong commercial awareness, lots of ambition and an enthusiastic approach are also important.
