HGI is a leading fire protection engineering and consulting firm helping clients protect the assets that matter most to their businesses. We are seeking a Senior Property Loss Control Engineer / Consultant to bring expertise to high-profile client engagements, mentor our growing team, and empower our clients to thoughtfully and proactively manage the risk of property damage and disrupted operations from perils such as fire and natural hazards.

You will leverage your technical expertise, consulting skills, and knowledge of the methods, language, objectives and priorities of Highly-Protected Risk (“HPR”) property insurers to independently evaluate the analysis, risk improvement recommendations, and Loss Expectancies (“LEs”) presented by insurance carrier property risk engineers and third-party consultants. You will serve as a client advocate, developing alternative risk-reduction solutions grounded in sound engineering judgment and cost/benefit analysis and negotiating their acceptance with insurers and other stakeholders.

You will review complex project submittals and provide guidance on property protection based on nationally recognized standards, industry best practices, and internal property loss control standards. You will advise on the resolution of costly, disruptive or contested risk improvement recommendations issued by other stakeholders to address property risks. You will also develop and review design specifications for fire protection systems and advise client project teams and their contractors and other consultants on large projects from pre-construction through commissioning.

You will lead complex site surveys, fire hazard analyses, water supply evaluations, and property loss incident investigations and lead the development and delivery of client training on human element programs such as hot work management, impairment management, and fire protection system inspection, testing, and maintenance.

You will provide technical mentorship to less experienced PLC engineers and consultants, including field oversight and review of their work products. Your leadership will help shape the technical standards and service quality of our growing PLC practice.
