More information about this job:

Overview

At FM Global you have the power to influence outcomes and make a difference in the future of your clients. When you join our team at FM Global, you can use your engineering background to help clients neutralize potential disaster such as fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, and many others.

What makes FM Global unique is our culture of camaraderie with colleagues and clients, the challenging work, and the excitement of being part of a successful organization. We believe in a supportive work/life environment and encourage our employees to participate in our total rewards benefit program, including a pension program.

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.

The ideal candidate should reside in the Burlington/Newington CT area.

Responsibilities

• Perform hands‑on site assessments of the physical property, including roofs
• Conduct evaluations which include, but are not limited to, site water supplies, dust hazards, chemical storage, and rack storage arrangements for client products
• Ensure that FM Global Engineering Standards are followed and, as necessary communicate the appropriate recommendations and/or engineering solutions to clients
• Working from a home office and travel to clients' facilities daily (overnight travel is expected approximately 30% of the time)

Qualifications

• Efficient time management ability with minimal supervision
• Solid technical capability including diverse knowledge of engineering principles
• Ability to stay focused from a home office environment
• Authorization to work in the country you are applying to work in
• Physical ability to lift 25 pounds, able to climb ladders, balance, and deal with heights
• Proficiency in MS Office products
• A valid driver’s license

The position is eligible to participate in FM Global’s comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes an incentive plan, generous health and well‑being programs, a 401(k) and pension plan, career development opportunities, tuition reimbursement, flexible work, time off allowances and much more.
