Match your skills Our People Chris Senior research specialist/technical team leader, large-scale fires employee since 2003 WHERE SOME MIGHT SEE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL, I SEE POTENTIAL DISASTER. For some, a warehouse filled with whiskey barrels is an inspiring sight, but when I look at all that wood and alcohol, I see an enormous hazard: here, a small fire can quickly escalate into an uncontrollable force. To help protect my clients, I traveled to remote areas of Tennessee, Scotland, Ireland and France to gather data, and then I conducted a series of experiments in FM Global's world-class burn laboratory to find a way to lessen the hazard. It's my job to analyze the potential, test the theories and provide my clients with answers where they don't yet exist. And it's something FM Global's been doing for nearly two centuries. ED Field engineer employee since 1979 EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT ME THAT TINY SNOWFLAKES can be stronger than steel. For most of the year, the sunlit beauty of New York's Finger Lakes belies the harshness of the winter yet to come, making it easy for our business clients to overestimate the strength of their roofs. Good thing they have me – and FM Global's nearly two centuries of experience – on their side. When examination of a client's 30-foot ceiling revealed warped structural bracing (and 30 years of dust!), I was able to explain the weakness and recommend a cost-effective solution. It's my job to help my clients protect their assets from the elements—even those as seemingly delicate as snowflakes. Lorena Engineering specialist employee since 2010 I'VE BEEN ABLE TO EMBRACE GREATER COMPLEXITY IN MY WORK AND GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR MY CAREER. At FM Global, we help clients identify the risks their businesses face and help them safeguard by building resilience to those risks — hence protecting their assets. I started nearly six years ago as a Field Engineer I. Due to the complexity of the visits I performed and the amount of work in my area, I've already moved to Field Engineer II, then Senior Engineer and now Engineering Specialist. Currently, I am in the Earthquake and Chemical Risk Specialist program. The level of challenges and responsibilities that I face today is exponentially bigger than when I began. I feel like I've experienced so much in a relatively short time. There aren't too many places this level of growth and exposure is possible. Endless Opportunities What you are exposed to at FM Global is incredibly diverse, from the industries you engage with, to the people you meet, to the types of challenges you face and the opportunities for growth and ongoing success. I can't think of anywhere else that can offer this range of experience. Gabriel Sr. Consultant engineer employee since 2007 I PLAY A PART IN BUILDING A BRIGHT FUTURE THAT CAN WEATHER ANY STORM. Many times, the safety of entire communities is influenced by our work. On one project in Florida, I worked with a client to make sure a critical 911 communications facility would be operable during and after a Category 5 hurricane. Advising them on things like how to protect vital generator systems and helping them make costeffective design decisions, I had a hand in building something truly substantial. In the end, our client was happy to have a partner that understood and worked with them to meet their unique needs. Trust-Building Communication FM Global is all about communication. Relationships. People. Our clients view us as true partners. Built on trust and experience, these relationships make working here unique. Richard Risk consultant Employee since 2010 EVEN THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS CAN BE A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. In a biscuit manufacturing plant, a tank of palm oil was located near the production line. Upon observing this, I immediately recognized potential disaster. Leveraging FM Global's nearly two centuries of experience, I was able to convince plant management that without proper containment, ignitable liquids put the entire plant—and the people inside it—at risk. This is what I do every day at FM Global. Whether I'm considering risks at massive assembly plants or consulting on greenfield construction projects with hundreds of millions of dollars in capital investment, I'm advising clients on ways to provide a safer environment for businesses and their employees. If you want to advance your technical expertise while developing keen business insight, you'll discover unparalleled opportunity at FM Global. Raul Senior Consultant Engineer Employee since 2007 THE SCENE APPEARS PEACEFUL, BUT I KNOW WHAT DISASTER CAN BRING. When a dryer system explodes at a woodworking plant in British Columbia, I'm right there—working alongside forensic experts to determine the cause so that similar events can be prevented down the line. It's just one of the things I do as a consultant engineer at FM Global. Here, I am immersed in large-scale projects that are both challenging and rewarding. And because our clientele represents a broad range of industries, I'm exposed to facets of engineering that rarely overlap. At the end of the day, I am trusted by clients around the globe to deliver property loss prevention solutions—which is exactly what makes my job so rewarding. Every Day Brings Something New From visiting a solvent extraction and electrowinning plant at a high-altitude copper mine in Chile to conducting flood studies based on complex hydraulic models, my work here always takes me to new heights. Joanne Senior engineering/loss prevention specialist Employee since 1987 THERE'S OFTEN A FINE LINE BETWEEN POWER GENERATED AND POWER UNLEASHED. Imagine a career in which you are visiting one of the world's largest underground hydropower plants one week, and crossing the Arctic Circle to inspect a lead and zinc mine the next. At FM Global, anything is possible. Backed by the company's nearly two centuries of experience, I help clients safeguard their businesses against disaster, aid in developing future standards and earn the trust and appreciation of my clients and employer. It's powerful stuff. And it makes what I do every day rewarding and exciting—even after 25 years. Expect the Unexpected Every day brings something new—from travelling by helicopter to inspect an idle hydro generating facility to investigating damage due to devastating fires or other natural catastrophes. Jacqueline Adjustor Employee since 2007 WHAT STARTS WITH REBUILDING FACILITIES ENDS UP REBUILDING LIVES. While visiting a previously flooded facility, I heard many heartfelt tributes to the FM Global Claims Team: how the speedy and fair settlement helped the facility and the local people quickly get back on their feet and rebuild their lives. The story inspired me to move from the Field Engineering role — which I'd held for 8 years — into Claims. FM Global Claims stands out in the way we use the best resources there are to help our clients get back on their feet. I take great pride in being part of a team that delivers on our promise to our clients — and their employees — in times of need. I am proud to work for a company with such honorable intentions. Diversity in Practice In July of 2015, FM Global launched the SWE Ambassador program. Created to attract, develop and retain female engineers, it's a vibrant example of how our leadership takes our diversity seriously and strives to make FM Global an even better workplace.
