Looking for variety and a challenge? Property loss prevention surveys range in size and scope. One day you may be looking at a metal working facility, the next, a university campus. The key to success isn't about being the expert in every occupancy, it's about building trust and cross-functional relationships with stakeholders through effective communication. After the survey is complete, it's time to tap into your strong analytical skills. Utilizing internal and external guidelines, leading edge tools and methodologies you develop loss prevention solutions to any identified hazards. Need that occupancy expertise after all? We have a Technical Integration Group as well as a vast team with years of experience to provide training, mentorship, and collaboration.

Our Field Risk Engineers receive a wide range of benefits including the freedom to manage their own schedules, ability to work from home; as well as many other company wide benefits like continued education and tuition reimbursement, 401(K), maternity/paternity leave, volunteer time off, and a strong sense of community!
