About The Position

Why Join Risk Consulting at AIG? Risk Consulting at AIG is about teamwork! It is about utilizing your resources, working together to solve real world problems, and making a positive impact on our client’s futures. When asked, “why do we enjoy what we do?” The answer is simple, the people. The role of an Account Risk Engineer is critical to what we do at AIG, both as a risk management resource to our clients and as a leading global insurance organization. Account Risk Engineers are responsible for working with clients to identify and mitigate risks to their business such as fire, flood, windstorm, equipment breakdown etc. A Day in the Life Looking for variety and a challenge? Client’s range in size, scope and complexity. One day you may be discussing the loss prevention strategy on an account with an underwriter, the next, surveying a manufacturing plant or diving into the contingent business interruption risks of an account. 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. You will tap into your strong analytical skills, utilize internal and external guidelines, and leading-edge tools and methodologies to develop your view of an accounts risk profile. 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. We offer flexible work hours, the 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!
