[Hiring] Consultant Engineer I @FM

Role Description

At FM, you have the power to influence outcomes and make a difference in the future of your clients. You can leverage your engineering background to help clients mitigate potential disasters such as fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, and many others. A new Consultant Engineer at FM will learn to engineer risk mitigation solutions from experienced mentors and a community-based work culture for the first 12-18 months. Initially, assignments will be of limited scope and complexity, giving you the opportunity to learn. You will gradually begin assessing hazards at larger, more complex sites. Over time, you will build relationships with clients and become a trusted resource, with a depth of expertise in the loss prevention field. You will work with minimal supervision and must be capable of working independently.

Job responsibilities will include:

• Perform hands-on site risk assessments of the client’s physical property, including roofs.
• Conduct engineering evaluations which include, but are not limited to, site fire protection water supplies, sprinkler protection, combustible dust hazards, chemical storage, and equipment breakdown potential.
• Ensure that FM Engineering Standards are followed and, as necessary, communicate the appropriate recommendations and/or engineering solutions to clients.
• Deliver a written report following each client site visit, following all FM guidelines and training provided, to ensure procedural and technical accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery.
