Who we are
The Directorate-General for Infrastructure and Logistics (DG INLO) contributes to the effective technical and administrative management of infrastructure and logistics (catering, mail, removals, furniture, transport, etc.) within and between the Parliament's workplaces. Our DG is also responsible for managing the equipment and services necessary for the functionality of these buildings. Through their efforts, the staff of DG INLO provides essential support for the European Parliament's political activities.
Within the Directorate General for Infrastructure and Logistics, the Insurance Unit is in charge of various insurance contracts covering the buildings, vehicles and civil liability of the European Parliament. Our Unit is divided between Luxembourg and Brussels; the fact that it is a very small team has the effect that all its members are called upon to make an active daily contribution to current affairs.
Your tasks
As part of the management of the various insurance policies for which the Unit is responsible, the trainee will contribute to the execution of the contracts in all their forms, including the updating of tables, lists and various data that are the basis of the different coverages.
This will also allow him or her to familiarize themselves with the internal structures of the European Parliament.
What makes the activity of our Unit rewarding, interesting and dynamic are the discussions and analyses concerning either insurance coverages required for the Institution or possible claims that often need specific solutions. Thus, the trainee will be able to actively participate in discussions and analyses in a wide variety of areas.

The trainee will have the opportunity to make numerous contacts with colleagues from other departments, but also with our external contacts.
As part of its activities, the Insurance Unit would like to offer a professional development opportunity to a motivated and curious person, possibly a lawyer by training. However, the wealth of areas affected by insurance files means that other training courses can well meet the needs of the tasks entrusted: economics, finance, engineering or architecture diploma, but also general administration can be areas of knowledge accepted. A language degree may also be suitable if you want to put your language skills into practice.
He or she will be based in Luxembourg. The Unit works mainly in French and in English: it is essential to have at least a very good knowledge of one of these two languages and a basic knowledge of the other. Prior knowledge in the field of insurance is not required.
