At Aon, we shape decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. As an organisation, we are united through trust as one inclusive, diverse team, and we are passionate about helping our colleagues and clients succeed.
Join Aon as an actuarial consulting pensions graduate and discover how our global team of specialists help businesses make smart choices about their employees’ pensions — now, and into the future.
Right now, UK companies have more invested in pension schemes than the rest of Europe combined. But, has each individual company set aside enough to meet their pensions’ obligations in twenty, thirty or even forty years’ time?
As the market leaders in actuarial consulting, our consultants are here to advise our clients on their defined benefit pension schemes, helping them to handle the associated financial and operational risks, now and in the future. As an Aon graduate, you’ll work alongside the most creative in the industry, earning as you learn and building your career as an Actuary!
With ever-changing markets and legislation, the work you will be doing is constantly evolving and Aon will help you to gain the skills required to be a successful and trusted actuarial consultant for our clients, across a diverse and complex range of topics.
As an actuarial graduate, no two days in the office are the same. Our graduates work on a range of client teams with colleagues who provide advice and support to either the trustees handling the pension scheme, or the company that provides it.
Our aim is for you to progress into a trusted advisor for your clients as soon as possible. We’ll help you do this by developing both your technical and consulting skills — including your understanding of key calculations, communication techniques, project management and networking. Throughout your career with Aon, you’ll continually improve your commercial awareness and professionalism — which will help you grow into a successful actuarial consultant.
You’ll be able to work on a range of projects, gaining early exposure to clients to support your development. You’ll can also be involved in one of our specialist teams, focusing in areas such as:

Throughout this time, you’ll have the chance to explore different career paths, you may choose to specialise in advising trustee clients, or corporate pension scheme sponsors. There’s also the opportunity to join and develop a role in one of Aon’s specialist teams, like those listed above. Whichever route you choose, we’ll provide support and training at every step, giving you the tools you need to build an exciting career at Aon.
