Overview

The Chemical Operation’s Account Engineering Department has an immediate opening for a dynamic Account Engineer (AE). This posting is for AE I with a Boiler & Machinery (B&M) specialization but, depending on the level of candidate's skill and experience this position may be eligible for alignment to AE II or Senior Account Engineer.

Account Engineers for Chemical Operations provide valuable support and guidance to clients in the chemical industry whose operations range from fine chemicals to petrochemicals. With a global territory, Chemical Operations has challenging and complex processes to understand and assess, which will continue your Specialty Industries development. The B&M AE is immersed in the mechanical and electrical exposures behind the evolving hazards that impact our clients, from rotating equipment and electrical systems to pressure vessels and the failure mechanisms that threaten them.

The AE candidate will need to develop a deep understanding of our clients' business, operations, and exposures to evaluate the nature, probability, and magnitude of loss potentials related to mechanical and electrical breakdowns, fire, and many other hazards. By applying our Client Service Process, the AE will build client-specific risk improvement strategies that clearly demonstrate FM's value-add while creating true value and developing long term partnerships with key stakeholders in our client's organization.

These assessments must be communicated effectively to ensure clients understand the hazards and the risk to their business. By partnering with Account Managers to produce cohesive, client-facing deliverables, the AE will reinforce a tailored account strategy and the tangible value FM brings to each client's organization. Critical to the role is the ability to influence key stakeholders so they become more resilient against hazards and exposures, ultimately developing into a trusted advisor through sustainable risk improvement, strong communication skills, engineering expertise, and business acumen.

Equally important is excellent internal communication to Account Managers, underwriters, and senior leaders so that critical insurance decisions can be made and long-term client partnerships can thrive.
