Testimonial

I PLAY A PART IN BUILDING A BRIGHT FUTURE THAT CAN WEATHER ANY STORM.

Many times, the safety of entire communities is influenced by our work. On one project in Florida, I worked with a client to make sure a critical 911 communications facility would be operable during and after a Category 5 hurricane. Advising them on things like how to protect vital generator systems and helping them make costeffective design decisions, I had a hand in building something truly substantial. In the end, our client was happy to have a partner that understood and worked with them to meet their unique needs.

If you enjoy variety, put your time-management and organizational skills to use handling field visits, office work, and projects for large commercial occupancies and hazards. You will work with minimal supervision and must be capable of working independently. You will also have the resources to build a rewarding career at FM Global including a structured hands-on training program.

Initially, assignments will be of limited scope and complexity giving you the opportunity to learn. You will gradually begin assessing risks at larger complex commercial properties by visiting client facilities and performing evaluations that accurately quantify foreseeable physical and human element exposures while working with client on-site risk management.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Evaluate the integrity and reliability of client production and support systems. Evaluate equipment, identify hazards and deficiencies, and deliver focused risk improvement solutions to reduce the client’s risk.
  • Apply operating standards, data sheets and guides to provide risk guidance and implement standard processes.
  • Prepare engineering reports in a timely fashion, to provide loss prevention recommendations and loss expectancies to support client risk improvement. Collaborate with Operations Engineering, Client Services, Account Management and Underwriting on Boiler & Machinery recommendations.
  • Conduct boiler and pressure vessel jurisdictional inspections as needed.
  • Illustrate the valuable differential of FM Global engineering capabilities.
  • Engineers must be able to manage their time and work independently with minimal supervision.
  • This is a field-based role and will require travel to large, complex industrial client sites to evaluate the operations and systems of the site and identify risks and hazards. Expected overnight travel is 25%-30% on average.

Based on a candidate’s previous experience, this role can be for either a Consultant Engineer II or Sr. Consultant Engineer. Successful Consultant Engineer candidates have the following qualifications:

  • Minimum of a bachelor’s degree in engineering (various specialties considered!)
  • Five plus years of industry experience
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Good analytical, organizational, problem solving, and interpersonal skills
