Consultant Engineer II / Albany, NY

FM is a leading property insurer of the world's largest businesses, providing more than one-third of FORTUNE 1000-size companies with engineering-based risk management and property insurance solutions. FM helps clients maintain continuity in their business operations by drawing upon state-of-the-art loss-prevention engineering and research; risk management skills and support services; tailored risk transfer capabilities; and superior financial strength. To do so, we rely on a dynamic, culturally diverse group of employees, working in more than 100 countries, in a variety of challenging roles.

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 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:

• 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 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)

The ideal candidate should live in the Albany, NY area.
