• Prepare detailed engineering reports summarizing findings, risk quality ratings, and recommendations for improvement.
• Collaborate remotely with underwriting, claims, and risk management teams to support account selection, renewal, and retention strategies.
• Engage with client facility and safety management teams to implement practical, cost-effective loss prevention measures.
• Evaluate and model natural catastrophe exposures (wind, flood, earthquake) using engineering judgment and available data tools.
• Conduct virtual follow-ups and site visits (as needed) to confirm completion of recommendations and verify system reliability.
• Integrate advanced risk assessment technologies-such as IoT sensors, drone inspections, and predictive analytics-into property evaluations.
• Stay current on evolving codes, standards, and risk mitigation technologies relevant to property risk engineering.

• Bachelor's degree in Fire Protection, Mechanical, Electrical, or Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or CFPS (Certified Fire Protection Specialist) preferred.
• NFPA or FM Global training and familiarity with loss prevention data sheets a plus.

Experience:

• Minimum of 5-10 years in property loss control or HPR engineering-experience with industrial or manufacturing occupancies strongly preferred.
• Background with major property carriers, risk engineering firms, or HPR service providers highly desirable.
• Strong experience evaluating and designing fire protection and detection systems.
• Proven ability to analyze fire and explosion hazards, production processes, and critical equipment exposures.
• Understanding of property underwriting principles and risk quality grading.

Skills:

• Excellent analytical, communication, and technical writing abilities.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, data visualization, and risk modeling tools.
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision in a client-facing environment.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple concurrent engagements.
• Willingness to travel regionally as needed for site visits (typically <25%).

Engagement Details:
