Job description

Established nearly two centuries ago, FM is a leading mutual insurance company whose capital, scientific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dedicated to property risk management and the resilience of its policyholder-owners. These owners, who share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world’s largest organizations, including one of every four Fortune 500 companies. They work with FM to better understand the hazards that can impact their business continuity to make cost-effective risk management decisions, combining property loss prevention with insurance protection.

If you enjoy variety, we will put your time‑management and organization skills to use handling field visits, office work, and projects for large commercial clients. We will provide you with extensive training to understand our business, build relationships with mentors, and learn FM's best-in-class industry standards. In this role, you will work independently with a lifeline of 200 years of support and experience.

Initially, your assignments are structured for you to learn. You will gradually begin assessing risks at larger commercial properties. You will visit client facilities and perform evaluations that will help our clients reduce risks in their business and at their properties.

You will perform "hands‑on" site assessments of physical properties including roofs and conduct evaluations which include, but are not limited to, site water supplies, dust hazards, chemical storage, and rack storage arrangements of client products.

Consultant Engineers are encouraged to follow FM Engineering Standards and communicate recommendations and/or engineering solutions to ensure client understanding. Strong communication, listening and relationship building skills are a must.

You should be willing to operate from a home office and will travel to clients' facilities daily; overnight travel is expected approximately 30% of the time. You must also be willing to travel to Natural Catastrophe sites as needed.

Based on a candidate’s previous experience, this role can be for either a Consultant Engineer I or Consultant Engineer II.

Qualifications

Successful Consultant Engineer candidates have the following qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or fire protection

• Strong verbal and written communications skills

• Good analytical, organizational, problem solving skills

• Efficient time management ability with work independently

• Proven technical capability including diverse knowledge of engineering principles

• Valid driver’s license

• Physical ability to climb commercial ladders (ex. inspect roofs), lift >25 lbs., and some clients require working in confined spaces.

• Proficient in MS Office products

You will be expected to work independently and should be willing to operate from your home office and travel to client sites on a regular basis .

The final salary offer will vary based on geographic location, individual education, skills, and experience. The position is eligible to participate in FM’s comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes an incentive plan, medical, dental and vision insurance, life and disability insurance, well‑being programs, a 401(k) and pension plan, career development opportunities, tuition reimbursement, flexible work, and time off, including vacation and sick time.

FM is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to attracting, developing and retaining a diverse workforce.
