If you want to learn about risk and other industries, and to work with great people, both internally and externally, then you really should consider the world of insurance at QBE.


Most of our positions are advertised internally or placed with recruitment consultants.

However, we are particularly interested to hear from people who can offer high level underwriting skills coupled with management experience and those who have specialist technical skills to offer. People who have gained their experience from outside the insurance industry also have a great deal to offer our business particularly in areas such as business operations.

QBE aims to be an employer and developer of high calibre, results orientated staff.


Gone are the days when employees spent their entire working career with one company. While there are superb career development opportunities at QBE, we understand that sometimes people need to spread their wings. Broadening one's experience can be an important part of a person's professional development, and we encourage our past employees to stay in touch as part of the QBE network.


APO Alumni is the perfect vehicle to facilitate this networking. It helps us stay in touch with "our" people, and we take great pride in their achievements as they develop their careers.

Of course, it is especially pleasing when they return to QBE to take up new positions, and the company benefits from their new skills and fresh perspectives.

So, if you are a past employee of QBE Asia Pacific, we encourage you to stay in touch using our Alumni web site (coming your way soon). To apply for alumni membership, talk to our Assistant GM - Organisational & Employee Development.

You'll find news on some of your old work friends and their achievements, and information on positions vacant within the division.
